The 1998 Royce Fellowship Program

26 undergraduates receive fellowships for their research, public service

Twenty-six Brown University undergraduates will receive Royce Fellowships, which will enable them to advance their research and public service projects locally, nationally and internationally. In many cases, the Fellows will work side by side with senior faculty in laboratories and classrooms.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Twenty-six Brown University undergraduates have been selected to receive Royce Fellowships, which will enable them to advance their research and public service projects locally, nationally and internationally.

The Royce Fellowship Program was started at Brown three years ago to recognize undergraduates who have gained distinction through their research, creativity, service and leadership. The program enables Fellows to complete a proposed research, curricular development, or public service project of their choosing, and confers lifetime membership in the Society of Royce Fellows. The Society supports reflection and inquiry by inspiring Fellows to connect their scholarly work with that of their peers and faculty. Senior faculty from a wide range of disciplines serve as mentors to the Society of Royce Fellows.

The program was established by Charles Royce, a 1961 graduate of Brown and parent of two Brown graduates. Royce, president of Royce Funds, also is a University trustee.
