Graduate Student Funding CLAVIS offers both recruitment and continuing merit-based fellowships to masters and doctoral students. For the latter, fellowships replace and/or supplement departmental teaching assistantships. The Center also makes funding available on an ongoing basis to students for research and conference travel, foreign language acquisition, and other scholarly activities. In recent years, CLAVIS students have also been successful in winning highly competitive extramural grants, fellowships, and internships, including: Fulbright U.S. Student Grant 12-month Ittleson Fellowship, Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts, National Gallery of Art, Washington Fulbright Grant for Study in the U.S. Mellon International Dissertation Research Fellowship, Social Science Research Council Pre-doctoral Residential Fellowship, Getty Foundation Chester Dale Pre-Doctoral Fellowship, Metropolitan Museum of Art Bolin Fellowship, Williams College Society of Fellows, Dartmouth College Dissertation Fellowship, Ford Foundation Tinker Pre-Dissertation Field Research, Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Art, UT Austin Southern Cone Dissertation Prize, Latin American Studies Association Peter C.
