By authority of the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois, the Committee in charge announces the seventy-third annual competition for the Kate Neal Kinley Memorial Fellowship. The deadline for receipt of applications is Monday, January 5, 2004. 

Three major Fellowships will be awarded:

• One of $7,500 in art, architecture or music;

• and an additional one in music for $15,000.

One or two additional Fellowships of $1,000 may also be granted upon committee recommendations.

• high attainment in related cultural fields as evidenced by academic marks;

• the character, merit and sustainability of the program proposed by the applicant; and

• excellence of personality, seriousness of purpose, and good moral character.
