Student Fellows Programs

Each spring, returning Phillips Academy students are invited to submit proposals for fellowships to support independent summer research projects in gender studies, including multiracial and multicultural dimensions. The Student Fellows Series is presented in the fall and provides an opportunity for the fellows to share their research findings in a public forum. Read below for descriptions of past student fellows projects.
