ELIGIBILITY AND SELECTION PROCESS

University of Chicago full-time graduate students who will be registered for the full academic year are eligible for the award. Fellows are expected to contribute their unique perspectives and interests to the International House community and become fully engaged in the multi-faceted life of the House through a wide array of new activities for UChicago graduate students offered throughout the year through the Graduate Commons Program. Programming includes internationally-focused public programs through the Global Voices Performing Arts and Lecture Series, language and culture tables and related dining activities, professional development opportunities, health and wellness programs, social activities, our Graduate Mentorship Program in conjunction with the Office of International Affairs, and much more!

Factors for selection may include (but not limited to): evidence of leadership abilities; involvement in multi-cultural community and university organizations; extracurricular interests in areas such as performing arts, athletics, and cultural activities; participation in community service; and contributions to increasing diversity. Once selected, Graduate Fellows must remain in good academic standing and abide by all of the rules and policies of International House and the University of Chicago. Graduate Fellows must also demonstrate ongoing participation in the International House community and will be required to submit a statement each quarter highlighting their involvement.
