Williams College--G.C. Bolin Fellowships for Minority Graduate Students 

The Gaius Charles Fellowships were established to underline the
importance of encouraging able minority students to pursue careers in
college teaching. The fellowships will enable two minority graduate 
students to devote the bulk of their time during the academic year to
the completion of their dissertation work. The fellowships will be 
awarded to minority students who are working toward a Ph.D. in the 
humanities or in the natural, social or behavioral sciences.	

During the year in residence at Williams, the Bolin Fellows will be
assigned faculty advisers in the appropriate departments and will be
expected to teach one one-semester course.		

Eligibility: Applicants must be U.S. citizens and must have completed
     all doctoral work except the dissertation by the end of the 
     current academic year.

Period: 1998-1999 academic year

Stipend: $26,000, plus housing support and an allowance of up to $2,500
     for expenses.

Deadline: January 1, 1998. Candidates must submit two full copies of
     each of the following: a full curriculum vitae, a graduate school
     transcript and three confidential letters of recommendation, a copy
     of the dissertation prospectus, preferably limited to 10-15 pp., 
     and a description of teaching interests.
