Program description

"The David Lenson Fellowship supports language study abroad. Applicants must be primary majors in Comparative Literature with a minimum GPA of 3.5 and should demonstrate at minimum an intermediate level in the language of the destination country. The David Lenson Fellowship has been established in honor of our colleague, mentor, and friend Professor David Lenson . Professor Lenson directed the Comparative Literature Program, served as President of the Massachusetts Society of Professors, and Executive Director of the Massachusetts Review. For over four decades, he was a teacher and advisor to generations of students in Comparative Literature. His courses were legendary on the UMass campus, on subjects ranging from dystopia and utopia, the sociology of drugs, political theory and revolution, to Greek tragedy and lyric poetry."

Where this information comes from

This page is published from University of Massachusetts Amherst's own public scholarship portal (umass.academicworks.com), read and verified 2026-09-03. This is a different source from most of this site's listings, which come from IRS Form 990-PF filings — see how we source scholarships. Portals change between cycles, so always confirm current details on the source listing before applying.

Most listings on this site are compiled from the foundation’s own IRS Form 990-PF filing — the public record where foundations that accept applications must state who to contact, how to apply, any deadlines, and any restrictions. Listings under /award/ are a second, separate source: read directly from the foundation’s own public scholarship portal, with a link to that source on every page. Filings are annual and portals change between cycles, so details can change: always confirm the current deadline and requirements with the foundation before applying. This site is not affiliated with, authorized by, or endorsed by any foundation listed. Scholarship information here is free; we charge only for optional application coaching, and we never write your application for you.
