Bulldogs Funding Ideas

FUNDING IDEAS As always, feel free to contact Easha (240.888.8857, [email protected]) or Kezia (917.673.4807, [email protected]) with any questions. Talk to your Master. Most residential colleges have pockets of money, both in the form of formal grants (see below) and in terms of discretionary funds. •

Examples of formal grants: Bruce Babcock Saybrook College Travel Research Fellowship; Pierson Master’s Summer Traveling Research Fellowship, Bergin Fellowship (TD underclassmen)
