Tell us a little bit about your Watson project and where it has taken you this year!
My project is centered on peer-led harm reduction work, so I’ve been spending time with non-profits where people who use drugs are providing services and/or advocating for their communities. So far, I’ve been partnered with Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users in Canada, É de Lei in Brazil, Harm Reduction Victoria in Australia, IDUCARE in the Philippines, and Indonesian Drug Users Network in Indonesia.
"The Watson provides truly extraordinary, transformative opportunities. And that’s true not only for those who win the fellowships, but also for every student brave enough to delve into their deepest curiosities and to explore the most creative ways they might aspire to contribute to their communities and to the world."
“The The Knight-Hennessy Scholars Program will give me a community of like-minded thinkers and builders who were on a similar mission to make research more actionable, accessible, and applicable to the everyday realities of those whom we ‘research.’”
Wellesley's Samuel and Hilda Levitt Fellowship - campus application deadline
Students planning to enroll in a 360 course in the first semester of their senior year, who have the approval of their thesis advisor and department, are eligible to apply. Levitt Scholars are not eligible to apply for either a Daniels Fellowship or a Schiff Fellowship.
The Samuel and Hilda Levitt Fellowships are intended to support the thesis work of nine honors students, three each in the humanities, the social sciences and the sciences. Each fellowship consists of $3500 and is awarded in the spring of the recipient’s junior year, so that it can facilitate honors work, both during the summer preceding the senior year, if needed, and during the senior year. The fellowship is also intended to recognize students with a commitment to service.

"I realized that there was so much to my story that aligned with the Knight-Hennessy Scholarship without trying to fit a particular mold. I'd suggest other students think deeply about their values – the Knight-Hennessy Scholars Program is very much a value-driven community, just like Wellesley – and share their global mission."
“The Watson Fellowship is the opportunity of a lifetime... it’s brought me to places I’d never dreamed of visiting, given me friends in every corner of the world, and allowed me to not just visit, but truly inhabit, incredible communities in other cultures.”
