The Andrew M. Mellon Foundation has awarded Lafayette a $200,000 grant to provide even more opportunities for students to participate in research projects led by faculty in the humanities and social sciences. The grant has established Community of Scholars, in which faculty research an academic topic with a team of students. Community of Scholars is part of Lafayette's thriving EXCEL Scholars program, which provides stipends to more than 160 students each year for research with faculty in all divisions of the College. Many of these students share their work through articles in academic journals and/or conference presentations.
