Class of ’59 Award
Over the years, the Class of ’59 has generously supported the intellectual and professional development of Grace Hopper students, outside the classroom and Yale campus, with small grants of up to $500 for such activites as travel to professional meetings to present their academic papers or projects, or to engage in targeted career-building activities and/or associated lodging costs. Many a Hopper student has benefited from these opportunities, thanks to the helping hand of the Class of ’59. For more information, contact Angela McCray in the Head of College Office.
Dwight V.V. Waterman - Summer Fellowship

Grace Hopper Richter Summer Fellowship
A Richter Summer Fellowship is awarded for independent study and research, not for mere travel, work or enrollment in a school.

Awards are reported to the IRS as taxable income. Awardees must disclose the amount of any other funding supporting the proposed project. Richter Fellowships are ordinarily awarded to juniors, but first years, sophomores and graduate affiliates are eligible. Seniors are not eligible.
