Ida and Daniel Lang Fellowship in the Humanities

This fellowship, normally in the amount of $2,000, is granted each year to a Hunter College graduate student who demonstrates outstanding academic achievement and promise in the study of history, English literature, Romance languages, music, or theatre. The Lang Fellow will be selected from those students nominated by departmental graduate advisors by a committee appointed by the Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences. 

All continuing or entering students, attending part-time or full-time, are eligible. Graduate programs may decline to nominate any student. They may also choose to nominate more than one outstanding student. Submissions of nominees are due by May 12, 2009.

The nominations should include:

• A letter of nomination from the Graduate Advisor, including the student's ID number, address, e-mail address, and telephone number
• One letter of recommendation by a faculty member
• A brief statement of intellectual interest by the nominee
• A copy of the student's undergraduate transcript
• A copy of the student's graduate (Hunter College) transcript (if applicable)
