Details

The Susan Tarrow Fellowship for Research in Europe was established in 2005 in honor of the associate director of the Institute for European Studies from 1985-2005. One of Tarrow's priorities was to establish funding to enable Cornell undergraduate students to pursue summer field research in Europe and to provide them with the intellectual and practical advising they need at all stages of their projects.

Undergraduate students from all fields of study are invited to submit applications to pursue field work for research projects focused on Europe. In light of Tarrow’s passion for France and Italy, students planning a project in those countries are particularly encouraged to apply, though the fellowship is open to all Europeanists.

Requirements

• 4-5 page research proposal (double-spaced) with bibliography
• Budget listing estimated costs for student lodging, food, travel etc.(not per diem)
• 1 letter of recommendation from Cornell faculty, showing that the student has discussed the research project with the advisor
• Transcript (unofficial is sufficient)

The amount of funding (up to $4000) depends on project length and budget, and is distributed through the student's bursar account.
