Leopold Fellows Program at the Chabraja Center for Historical Studies
About
The LEOPOLD FELLOWSHIP program provides a group of able Northwestern undergraduate students from any field and school with an opportunity to engage in genuine historical research. The fellowship entails an hourly wage and possible travel expenses, but no academic credit. Leopold Fellows work on current History faculty research projects, learning how to interpret complex archival and documentary materials. Exploring a topic of current research under the guidance of a regular member of the Department of History, the Leopold Fellows learn how scholars develop arguments out of diverse research materials.
