FELLOWSHIPS

The W. K. McClure Fund for the Study of World Affairs was established in 1968 at the University of Tennessee by Wallace McClure, a graduate of the University of Tennessee, and the Trustees of the William Kyle McClure Foundation. Each year, the Fund offers a fellowship competition coordinated for the University by the Center for International Education.

Designed to recognize outstanding academic achievement and to support further study, the fellowships consist of cash grants which can be used either in the U.S. or abroad.

The purpose of the W.K. McClure Fund for the Study of World Affairs is to enhance and promote education for world responsibility. Initially conceived to heighten expertise in the area of international law, the program has been broadened to include any study proposal which could "increase world understanding and reduce international conflict." The fellowship provides a stipend of $600 to $2,000. Application forms are available at the Center for International Education, 1620 Melrose Avenue.
