The Kerr Fellows Program was established in 2010 in honor of the late Monsignor William A. Kerr (1940-2009) to assist international graduate students with demonstrated financial need.
The fellowships are generally awarded for two academic years. All recipients must make satisfactory progress toward their degrees as determined by their academic departments and corresponding colleges. Upon completion of their degrees, it is expected that graduates will return home and contribute to the development of their countries.
