Grants from the William Lankford Memorial Fund

 The purpose of this memorandum is to announce that, thanks to the generosity of a COL alumnus, a fund exists for the provision of specified forms of assistance to currently enrolled students majoring in the College of Letters, who have demonstrated financial need. A limited number of small grants can be made in any given academic year. Lankford grants are intended to supplement other sources of funding. 

Eligible Academic Purposes: 

1. Expenses incurred in the preparation of senior thesis or senior essay projects or for travel necessary for thesis or essay research. 

2. Expenses incurred for travel or other requirements of programs for study abroad, to the extent that such expenses are not covered either by the pertinent academic program or by grants from the Office of International Studies at Wesleyan.

 Lankford grants are made at the discretion of the Director of the College of Letters upon receipt of a written application stating academic purpose, proposed budget, and other sources of funding. There will be two allocations from available funds during the academic year, one each semester. Deadline for applications: October 15 and May 1.
