Gillette Fellowship

Huzzah!

Dear Rebecca:

Congratulations on being selected by the Honors College scholarship committee to receive a 2011 Gillette Fellowship.

This year, Gillette Fellows receive $3,000 to cover living expenses for two months of the summer so that they are free to begin their research work. Fellows also will receive up to a maximum of $500 of support from the Honors College Research Fund for senior research costs. Fellows may not be enrolled for classes during the summer and must submit a brief report at the end of the summer. Please send me a brief note accepting your Fellowship and indicating that you understand and will comply with these conditions. Finally please note that recipients are asked to express acceptance and appreciation of the award in writing within six weeks of notification of the award with correspondence to be addressed to:

Dean of the Honors College
Michigan State University
105 Eustace-Cole Hall
East Lansing, MI 48824-1041

Let me again offer my congratulations. I hope your research project turns out to be even more interesting and exciting than you planned.

Sincerely,

Dr. Cynthia Jackson-Elmoore
Dean and Professor, Honors College
Michigan State University

Very nice, little girl. You will be busy!!
Stuff all day, then research/writing in the evening.

Congratulations!

Do they realize that although you are not taking classes, you are a little booked? Or is it all sufficiently tied up together?

They're aware of what's going on; it was planned in the proposal.
