The Anne E. Borghesani Memorial Prize is an incentive award that enables
the recipient(s) to undertake a research project, an internship, a volunteer
activity, or a plan of study in any field involving international issues.
Designed to foster the spirit of the award, the prize encourages personal
growth and independence, while increasing one's understanding of all peoples
and encouraging a commitment to the world community.
Second-semester sophomores and juniors from ANY department or major
with a minimal GPA of 2.8 or above are eligible for the prize. Preference is
given to U.S. citizens, but students of any nationality are urged to apply.
Ultimately, the quality of proposal will determine prize selection.
Over the past decade, students from a variety of Tufts majors
have used the prize to venture abroad and study, conduct
research, participate in international internships, and become
involved in social change movements. Borghesani award recipients
have carried out their plans in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean,
Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and South Asia.
"Certainly travel is
more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on,
deep and permanent, in the ideas of living."
