Medieval Academy Dissertation Grants
To commemorate its seventy-fifth anniversary, The Medieval Academy
established a new program of dissertation grants named in honor
of five members who over many years contributed to the development
of The Academy: Hope Emily Allen, Helen Maud Cam, Grace Frank,
Etienne Gilson, and E. K. Rand. Their careers as teachers and
scholars reflect the organization's wide-ranging disciplinary
interests.
Interests which will be developed and expanded by the next generation
of scholars whose research will be supported by these grants.
Since the program began, an additional two grants have been funded
in honor of Frederic C. Lane and Charles T. Wood.
