Description
The Edward Guiliano Global Undergraduate Fellowship, offered by the Modern Language Association (MLA), provides financial support to undergraduate students in languages, literatures, and related humanities fields. The fellowship aims to enable transformative research, creative, scholarly, or community engagement experiences that require travel beyond the student’s local environment. Eligible activities include research or creative projects, presentations at national/global conferences, participation in specialized courses or working groups, and academically grounded community engagement projects, all taking place more than 200 miles from the student’s home or institution.
