Frances Hiatt Fellowship

Frances Hiatt Fellowships were awarded from 1980-93. The fellowship was open to graduate students at work on doctoral dissertations. The funds for these fellowships derived from a gift made by Jacob Hiatt (1905-2001) of Worcester, Massachusetts, in memory of his wife Frances (d. 1980)
