Eligibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All KSAS first-year students (rising sophomores) are invited to apply to the Woodrow Wilson Undergraduate Research Fellowship Program. Approximately 10 fellows will be chosen each year. Woodrow Wilson Fellowships cover three years of research and must be spent before graduation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strong candidates for this award will demonstrate an active interest in conducting their own research. The selection of Wilson Research Fellows is based on academic merit and the strength of the applicant\u2019s proposal for independent projects. Awards are given out across all majors, and projects range from lab investigations to film productions. Interdisciplinary work is highly valued, but projects should also tie into a student\u2019s major(s) so that they are well trained to pursue the project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All fellows must remain KSAS majors throughout their participation in the program because the program was established by a generous donation to the dean of the Krieger School. However, fellows are encouraged to conduct interdisciplinary research within other divisions at Johns Hopkins, and mentors do not need to be KSAS faculty members. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
