  • Migrant Farm Worker Clinic Fellowship

     2016 UConn Migrant Farm Worker Clinic Fellowship

    Sponsored by the UConn Honor’s Program, El Instituto: Latina/o, Caribbean, and Latin American Studies Institute, CT Area Health Education Center & the UConn Migrant Farm Worker Clinic

    The UConn Migrant Farm Worker Clinic fellowship is a competitive award that allows students with an interest in migration studies and/or medicine to spend part of the summer working with a team of UConn medical professionals to provide services to migrant farmworkers. Honors students who speak Spanish and whose undergraduate research would be enhanced by such an opportunity will be given preference.

    This fellowship is complemented by an internship that allows the fellow to train for the clinic in the late spring, and contribute to the fall course LLAS/HIST 1570 Migrant Workers. The fellowship during the summer comes with a stipend of $1,000 to cover traveling expenses.
