Organizational History: The Woodrow Wilson Fellowship program was designed to encourage college graduates to consider college teaching as a career and provided support for first-year graduate students in the humanities and the social sciences in its early years before expanding to include mathematics and the sciences.
The Woodrow Wilson fellowship files are available for research to scholars who agree not to make reference in written form to the file of a specific fellow and that data extracted from the files will be used for scholarly, noncommercial purposes only.
These files also are available for research on CD at the offices of the other sponsors of the digitizing project: the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation in Princeton, New Jersey; the Andrew Mellon Foundation in New York; and the Spencer Foundation in Chicago.
