Kate nea Kinley Memorial Fellowship

The fellowships are open to graduates of the College of Fine and Applied Arts of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and to graduates of similar institutions of equal educational standing, whose principal or major studies have been in the fields of, among others, landscape architecture, urban and regional planning.

Although there is no age limitation for applicants, other factors being equal, preference will be given to applicants who have not reached their 25th birthday.

Fellowships will be awarded on the basis of unusual promise in the fine arts as attested by

• high attainment in the applicant's major field of study as evidenced by academic marks and quality of work submitted or performed
• high attainment in related cultural fields as evidenced by academic marks
• the character, merit, and suitability of the program proposed by the applicant
• excellence of personality, seriousness of purpose, and good moral character

While receiving a stipend from the Kate Neal Kinley Memorial Fellowship, recipients are precluded from holding appointments as instructors, lecturers, or faculty members, but may hold other remunerative employment with advance approval of the fellowship committee.

One fellowship of up to USD 9,000; and one of a lesser amount may also be granted upon committee recommendations. The fellowships are to be used by the recipients toward defraying the expenses of advanced study in the United States or abroad.

The first award was made in 1932.

Its continuance today is due to Kinley's original gift and to the dedication of family members. The Kate Neal Kinley Memorial Fellowship is also partially funded by the John Robert Gregg Fund at Community Funds, Inc., and The New York Community Trust.
