Kress Fellowships

Middlebury Language Schools offer Kress Fellowships, made possible by a generous gift from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, to graduate students in European art history or art conservation. Five fellowships are offered for exceptionally qualified individuals pursuing graduate studies in European art history or art conservation. Fellowships cover the comprehensive fee including tuition, on-campus housing and food to attend the Middlebury Language Schools in French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, or Spanish. The fellowships are merit-based and intended for graduate students who have recently been accepted or are currently enrolled in Ph.D. granting institutions in the United States. Preference is given to those who can demonstrate urgent professional need for language learning. In exceptional cases, advanced undergraduates in Art History preparing for graduate study may also be considered. Applicants need not be American citizens. Students will be notified about the status of the fellowship on or around February 1.
