What is the Bowden Fellowship?
Established in 2017, the Dan Leslie Bowden Fellowships in the Humanities program provides financial and academic support for rising high school seniors at Ransom Everglades School to pursue advanced summer study in the humanities. In a highly competitive application process, projects are selected based on the thoroughness of the project proposal, the integrity of its methodology, and the degree to which the plan intends to explore the essential question of the humanities, or in the words of the Fellowship’s namesake, “demonstrates courage in the passionate pursuit of what makes us human.”
