Invitation to Apply - Goldberg Fellowship in French

Apply by April 16th

The Department of Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics and the French Program invite applications for the Gloria L. Goldberg Fellowship.

 The Gloria L. Goldberg Fellowship in French provides a stipend to a student of French language to cover the costs of summer travel to France to learn or improve her/his French language skills. The stipend ($2,000+) is awarded to a student whose first language is not French, for use on a travel abroad experience in France that shall enhance the student’s language skill in French and knowledge of French culture.  Preference shall be given to students who plan to teach French at the high school level after graduation.  Such travel activities may include, but are not limited to, living with a family, participating in a hostel experience, attending a French immersion program, visiting French museums and other landmarks, and participating in courses at French institutions. Dr. Joshua Goldberg was very proud of his wife’s achievements as a French teacher, and he recounted that she attributed her excellent pronunciation to her frequent travels in France.

Applicants should submit a personal statement; a current transcript; and a current résumé. The personal statement should describe the student and her/his achievements in studying French; previous experience, if any, in travel and study abroad; and future career plans.

Complete applications are due no later than 5 p.m. on Monday, April 16, 2017.  Please bring or e-mail application materials to Mrs. Colleen Kepler, cdkepler@syr.edu, 340 H.B. Crouse Hall, 315-443-2175.
