University Fellowship Program
Unleash your curiosities and spend a summer in Canton embarking on research that excites you. Our University Fellows conduct research alongside a faculty mentor and receive a $3,500 stipend and housing for eight weeks, where they live with other Fellows. Weekly barbecues with faculty mentors and other program participants are highlights of the summer.
Fellows then share their findings during a poster presentation event in the fall. Some Fellows, particularly seniors, continue their research throughout the year.

Tanner Fellowship Program
This fellowship is for students looking to enlarge their capacities to make a positive and creative mark on the world by enabling them to design and pursue educational experiences anywhere in the world during the summer months, January break or an academic semester. Funding can 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.
Tanner Fellows give a public oral presentation the April after their fellowship as part of Festival Day.
