This year Walter Stephens of the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures will convene the seminar, and students from all departments in the humanities are welcome to apply, provided they can demonstrate a need to spend a period of residence in Italy for successful completion of the Ph.D. They should also have completed all requirements except for the dissertation by the time they arrive in Florence in January. They are expected to remain until the end of June. Students will receive a fellowship and a travel allowance, but tuition is not covered.

    Eligible students should apply to Elizabeth Cropper in care of the Villa Spelman office, 268 Mergenthaler, by Mon., Oct. 16. A one-page statement from the student describing the subject of his or her research, together with a brief letter of recommendation from the student's supervisor testifying to the completion, or plans for completion, of other requirements should also be included. Successful applicants will be notified as soon as possible.


    Student Funding Programs -- Two programs are available through the Alumni Association. Both are open to undergraduate and graduate students from all divisions.

    The Community Service Grant Program was established to support valuable volunteer experiences for Hopkins students and to foster positive relationships between the university and its surrounding communities. The program supports students who create their own community service projects or design their own ventures within existing volunteer organizations. Past projects have included Teach Baltimore and Hands to the Homeless.

    The Student Services Grant Program promotes the student experience at Hopkins by providing funding to student groups or programs and by supporting campus events, activities and programs that benefit and involve students from all university divisions.

    Applications are available at divisional alumni relations offices, the Steinwald Alumni House, 3211 N. Charles St., or online at alumni.jhu.edu/alumni/associations/funding/index.html.

    Applications for spring funding are due Dec. 1. For more information and for applications, call Dave Sowers in the Office of Alumni Relations at 410-516-6730.
