Brief Description
|
The Compton Foundation seeks to foster human and ecological security by addressing contemporary threats to these inalienable rights, and supports responsible stewardship that respects the rights of future generations to a balanced and healthy ecology, both personal and global. These fellowships were designed to promote creativity and support the commitment of graduating seniors as they move beyond academic preparation toward “real world” application and contribution through a one-year fellowship experience involving a mentor relationship. The fellowship includes living expenses, travel, equipment a mentor honorarium, orientation and post-fellowship meeting expenses. The project should preferably be conducted in the United States, but there are no geographical restrictions. Middlebury may nominate up to two students.
