RICHTER GUIDELINES FOR APPLICANTS

1. The award is for independent study and research. It cannot be for mere travel, or for a program of
work, however valuable. An internship, for example with a government agency, is a valid use only if
there is a significant component of study or research, which must be carefully identified. Creative
projects are also valid. "Independent" suggests that enrollment in courses is not in itself a valid use.
Being part of a research team--in biology or archeology, for example--is valid, since in certain fields
research is typically done in teams rather than alone.

2. The maximum Fellowship grant is $1,500, though a Head of College may award more grants of less
money if the Head of College so determines. Ordinarily the money should be used to defray actual
expenses of research, such as travel to, and sustenance at, a distant archive. If a project is compelling
enough, a Head of College can choose to make a grant as compensation for income a student will lose
by doing a project instead of taking a summer job to fulfill the financial aid summer earnings
requirement. The grant ordinarily should not be used to buy equipment such as cameras, tents, or
books that will become the student's permanent possession, although they may be needed for the
project.

3. Applications should be submitted on line on or before 11:59pm, Eastern Time Zone, Wednesday,
April 14, 2021. Proposals must include a budget. Heads of Colleges will then submit their ranked list
to the student grant database Overlap Committee to ensure that individual proposals are not being
double funded elsewhere. The Overlap Committee will meet mid-April, and the Head of College will
notify students of their awards or failure to receive an award by the end of April.

4. You should familiarize yourself with the University’s International Travel Policy.  For the
complete policy, visit https://covid19.yale.edu/travel-guidelines
Briefly, undergraduate students may not receive Yale funds or pre-approval for credit to travel and
study in countries on the restricted list. And all student applicants must complete and sign the “Travel
Abroad Acknowledgement and Release Form” for any international travel.

5. Richter recipients must complete a Summer Fellowship Summary Report and submit to the Head of
College’s Office on or before 11:59pm, Eastern Time Zone, Friday, September 10, 2021.

6. Students will receive a copy of the Summary Report with their letters of award.

7. Students who win Richter grants are obligated to inform the Head of College if they receive another
grant. The Richter grant is for the project proposed and the money is to be spent in the way proposed.
If circumstances arise that require a student to change the project in any significant way, the student
should call the Head of College for advice and approval, and if a student’s plans change completely,
the student must return the Richter funds.
