Wise Wanderer Scholarship
“The great men of antiquity considered that there was no better school for life than travel: in this school one learns endlessly about so many other lives; again and again one reads a new lesson in this great book of the world. Besides, the change of air benefits body and mind.” – Louis de Jaucourt, “Voyage,” Encyclopédie ou Dictionnaire raisonneé des sciences, des arts et des métiers, vol 17. Paris 1765.
Travel requires an adventurous spirit as well as a desire to learn. Given the opportunity to design a journey and explore any region or interest you wish, where will you go?
The Wise Wanderer Scholarship will award one student $5,000 for the summer of 2014. There are not any restrictions on how a student uses the money, although the purpose of the scholarship is to enable the exploration of personal or academic interests.
To apply, submit your proposal for travel outside the continental United States. Your plan should include a one page description of your journey and its goals, an itinerary, and a budget.
Applications are due in the LAH office by Friday, March 28th.
