The Tanner Fellowship

The Tanner Fellowship, also known as the University Fellows Program, was created by the friends and family of Tanner Cornwell to honor the memory of Tanner whose short but extraordinary life touched many people. This award is intended to encourage students to enlarge their capacities to make a positive and creative mark on the world by enabling them to design and pursue educational experiences not otherwise available to them. The Tanner Fellowship carries with it a monetary award of $2,600.

Fellowship activities may be carried out during the summer months, January break or an academic semester, but must be completed by March of the year following the award of the fellowship. The project/educational experience may take place anywhere in the U.S. or abroad. The award may be used to directly support the project/educational experience (e.g. travel, lodging, etc.) or it may be used to replace summer earnings while the student pursues the particular project/educational experience. "Project/educational experience" may be thought of in very broad terms ranging from a completely independent project to a project working with a faculty mentor to an internship or some other more structured experience.
