Previous Undergraduate Fellows
This exciting new fellowship is awarded to undergraduates who have demonstrated strong potential within the humanities. The fellowship program allows recipients to work closely with scholars both within and outside of the Rice community, as well as to interact with Rice alumni who have achieved success in non-academic careers after receiving undergraduate Humanities degrees.
This fellowship program has been made possible through the generous donations of John Paul Beltran and Nancy Mafrige.
