Rosen Fellowship
The Rosen Fellowship is not just about academics鈥攊t鈥檚 about exploration, creativity, and bold ideas. It empowers students to design their own learning journey, whether that means traveling, researching, creating art, or launching a project. You don鈥檛 need a perfect transcript to apply. What matters most is your idea, your drive, and your story.
Dream
Have a dream project that doesn鈥檛 fit into a traditional academic box? The Rosen Fellowship is designed to support unconventional, self-directed experiences. Whether you want to investigate Icelandic mythology, study architecture in Japan, or explore your heritage in Ghana, this fellowship can make it happen.
Explore
The fellowship encourages students to step off the beaten path鈥攑hysically, intellectually, and emotionally. Past fellows have traveled across the globe, but others have stayed local and created transformative experiences.
Discover
This is a chance to explore your identity, interests, and aspirations in a way that鈥檚 deeply personal. The Rosen Fellowship is about growth, curiosity, and courage鈥攓ualities that shape not just scholars, but leaders.
Connect
Rosen Fellows often connect with mentors, communities, and networks that extend far beyond 可乐视频. The experience can open doors to future fellowships, graduate programs, and careers.
Past Projects

鈥淚 fly to the west coast at the end of May, first to make field recordings at a fire tower in Oregon and then working with those recordings to produce songs with other musicians in Los Angeles. My flights are booked, the car is rented, and I'm furiously reaching out and making plans with collaborators. I am incredibly excited, both for the music I will produce and for the experience itself.鈥�
