The donor of this fellowship spent time after graduating from Yale in various Latin American countries.

This fellowship aims to fund a student with a similar enthusiasm for discovering the richness of life in a Latin American country by pursuing a project or activity.

The travel undertaken should be intellectually purposeful and personally enriching but need not contribute to an academic project. Funding is not available for formal coursework, including formal language study.
