FELLOWSHIPS AS MEMORIALS TO AMERICAN FIELD SERVICE MEN
December 1920

In order to provide an enduring memorial for the one hundred and twenty-seven Field Service men who gave their lives to the Cause, and in order to perpetuate among future generations of French and American youth the mutual understanding and fraternity of spirit which marked their relations during the war, an organization has been established, known as the American Field Service Fellowships for French Universities, formerly the Society for Ameri- can Fellowships an French Universities. This organization proposes to award fellowships for advanced study in France to students selected from American colleges, universities, and technical establishments and occasional fellowships for French students in American universities. These fellowships will, when endowed, be named after the men of the American Field Service who died in France; and it is intended, if sufficient funds can be obtained, to name a fellowship in memory of each one of these men.

The fellowships of the annual value of $200 and 10,000 francs, are granted for one year and are renewable for a second year.

Applicants must be citizens of the United States and between twenty and thirty years of age. They must be:

1. Graduates of a college requiring four years of study for a degree, based on fourteen units of high school work; or

2. Graduates of a professional school requiring three years of study for a degree; or

3. If not qualified in either of these ways, must be twenty-four years of age and have spent five years in an industrial establishment in work requiring technical skill.

Applicants must be of good moral character and intellectual ability and have a practical ability to use French books.
