The Mellon Fellowship was established in 1932 by Mr Paul Mellon Hon. KBE (º£½ÇÂÒÂ× 1929) to promote friendship and understanding between England and the United States, to encourage a mutual expression of interest in the life and thought of both nations, to advance the cause of education by the exchange of ideas of educational methods, and to create a special tie between Cambridge and Yale. 

Each year we encourage final-year undergraduates and recent graduates to apply for this Fellowship which covers the cost of accommodation, tuition, university fees and a quarterly living allowance whilst studying at Yale. 

It's a great opportunity for students to travel and study abroad at one of the world’s leading universities. º£½ÇÂÒÂ× has sent one or two students each year to study at Yale for over 90 years. 

How to Apply

Those who wish to apply for the fellowship should submit a statement of no more than 500 words to the College Office (tutorial@clare.cam.ac.uk). The statement should give your name and brief details of each of the following: 

• reasons for wanting to go to the United States for study
• course of study to be followed at Yale (which needs to be 2 years in the first instance)
• plans for subsequent career or study

You should also ask your Director of Studies (or other appropriate academic referee, such as a supervisor) to provide you with a reference. 

The deadline for receipt of all application materials (including references) is midday on 11th October and interviews will take place on the 17th October. Late applications will not be accepted.
