The Bruce L. Cohen Fund, established through the generosity of Bruce L. Cohen ‘83, supports undergraduate scholarship and undergraduate scholarly programming. Grants are made in support of research and on-campus scholarly events. Successful applications to the Bruce L. Cohen Fund Research Award will include a specific description of the relationship between your project and LGBT and gender studies and citation of specific texts from the relevant fields of scholarship.
Funding for research may support such items as travel to archives or other research sites; acquisition of inaccessible books, microfilms, or other materials (with the understanding that such materials will ultimately be offered to Sterling or another library within the university); or other legitimate research expenses. Individual awards range from $200 to $1,000. All Yale undergraduates are eligible to apply.
The Bruce L. Cohen Fund also makes grants to support on-campus scholarly events. These grants are available for on-campus lectures, workshops, conferences, and other such educational events or projects which are directed toward undergraduates and organized by either faculty or undergraduate student organizations. Grants for scholarly events will normally range from $200 to $500. Applications for event subventions may be submitted at any time, but people interested in applying for such funds are encouraged to make initial inquiries as early as possible.
Applications for this fellowship are submitted through the Yale College Student Grants Database. For more information on the Bruce L. Cohen Fund Research Award and application procedures, please visit the Student Grants Database and search for “Bruce Cohen.”
