The Patterson Fellowship aims to introduce students with limited familiarity with Italy to its rich cultural, historical, and intellectual heritage. It supports intellectually meaningful and personally enriching travel experiences that the students would not have undertaken without this funding. The fellowship emphasizes personal and intellectual curiosity about Italy, resourcefulness, maturity, and independence of mind in its selection criteria. It is specifically designed for students who have not had extensive travel experiences, providing them with approximately $2,000 for a two to three-week visit to Italy. This grant encourages exploration outside the confines of academic projects to foster a deep, personal appreciation of Italy's cultural value and beauty.
