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 that 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.
