Summer fellowship for PhD students at Yale
The Yale Club of San Francisco annually awards a summer fellowship to a current Ph.D. student of the Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
The award is made to a student who demonstrates a need to visit the San Francisco Bay Area, in order to complete their thesis research. The total stipend that covers costs to visit the Bay Area over the summer range from S2,500 to $3,500.

Gabriel Aron (Aron) Ramirez, History
Picket-Fence Pan-Ethnicity: Homeownership, Class, and Latinidad in the Late Twentieth Century
Because of the research afforded me by the Yale Club, my dissertation earned two prizes, the university's Theron Rockwell Field Prize and the department of history's Edwin W. Small Prize.
Daniel Swain, English Language and Literature, and Women’s Gender and Sexuality Studies
The Yale Club of San Francisco Fellowship will allow me to conduct essential archival research on two Bay Area poets, Thom Gunn and Jack Spicer. Reading their papers, which are held at the Bancroft Library, will enable me to understand the interrelationship of their professional and romantic lives. Being based in San Francisco and Berkeley will also afford me the opportunity to conduct further historical research into the way the AIDS epidemic impacted the San Francisco LGBT community, and to consult papers related to the broader poetic communities in which Gunn and Spicer operated (for instance, Beat poets and the San Francisco Renaissance).
Still enrolled.
