National Collegiate Honors Council announces a new fellowship for undergraduate honors students. The award is named for Dr. John and Mrs. Edythe Portz, pioneers in honors education whose support of imaginative ventures in undergraduate education has benefited college students in Maryland and throughout our nation since the late 1960s.  The highly competitive award of up to $7,000 is open to students at NCHC's 800+ member institutions in the United States and beyond. 

The Portz Fellowships support original and extended interdisciplinary projects for up to eighteen months.  Applications for the first round of grants will be accepted beginning in January 2010.
If you would like more information about the Portz Fellowship, please contact Dr. Patrice Berger at pberger1@unl.edu, or 402-472-5425.

Applications and information about the Portz Fellowship are available online at http://www.nchchonors.org/portz-fellowship.html.
