Norton Fellows

Through the Norton Fellows program, the Norton Center provides funding and guidance to a select group of students who want to make a positive difference in their local communities over the summer. 

Recent projects have included teaching math and English to children of migrant workers in Thailand; creating an anthology of Vietnamese women’s recollections of the Vietnam War; building and testing rockets with underserved youth in Hartford, Conn.; and organizing a major beach clean-up in Ghana.

Director of the Norton Center Matt Kammrath shares the story of one student's Norton Fellows project in Ghana.

Summer 2025 Fellowships

The selection committee seeks projects that demonstrate a commitment to exploring the intersection of the best self and the common good. Projects should be scaled for summer break, structured practically, and budgeted appropriately.

Beyond the viability of their projects, applicants should also demonstrate their own strong character, maturity, dependability, and good communication skills.
