Harvard University is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States (founded 1636) and one of the eight Ivy League schools, widely regarded for their high academic standards, selectivity in admissions, and social prestige.
The grant program, specifically the Booth Fund Fellowships, is designed to assist students with expenses related to travel to countries that are significant to their field of study. The fellowship can be used during the summer or the following academic year, covering costs such as travel, tuition, or other relevant expenses. The overarching goal is to enrich the academic and professional experiences of recipients through purposeful travel and research.
