For Undergraduates

Research Partnerships for Students
Radcliffe's Research Partnerships for Students program provides a unique opportunity for undergraduates to work side-by-side with some of the finest scholars, artists, and professionals in the world. Students may now apply to participate during the 2008–2009 academic year.

Carol K. Pforzheimer Fellowship
The Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America invites Harvard undergraduates to use the library's collections with competitive awards of amounts up to $2,500 for relevant research projects. Preference will be given to applicants pursuing research in the history of work and the family, community service and volunteerism, the culinary arts, or women's health. The research may be, but is not required to be, in connection with a project for academic credit.

For Graduate StudentsThe Schlesinger Library offers research support grants and dissertation grants.

The Radcliffe Institute, through Harvard's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, offers several doctoral dissertation completion fellowships each year. Read about the 2008–2009 Graduate Fellows.

Radcliffe Science Events

Radcliffe currently offers three types of events for students in the sciences:

• lunches with visiting scholars
• twice-yearly teas for undergraduates, graduate students, and Radcliffe fellows in the sciences
• poster sessions where students present their research during science symposia

All of these events—designed by Barbara J. Grosz, former dean of science and now dean of the Radcliffe Institute—aim to connect successful scientists with students who hope to follow in their footsteps.
> See "Radcliffe Science Program: Sparking Conversation": Dean Grosz describes the evolution of the Science Program's student outreach.
