The Selma Jeanne Cohen Fund for
International Scholarship on Dance
The program
is funded by a generous endowment gift from dance historian Dr. Selma Jeanne
Cohen (Russia 1976). The Selma
Jeanne Cohen Fund for International Scholarship on Dance, administered by the
Fulbright Association with Dr. Cohen’s guidance, supports the presentation
of a lecture on dance scholarship at the Fulbright Association’s annual
conference.
The
Selma Jeanne Cohen Fund provides an honorarium, round-trip travel funds, and
expenses for a dance scholar to present a major paper on dance scholarship at
the Fulbright Association’s annual conference.
The annual conference is an important multidisciplinary forum whose
participants are prominent Fulbright alumni, federal officials, and
representatives of the higher education and foreign affairs communities. The conference convenes leaders to consider issues
significant to current affairs and to the international exchange of
scholarship.

Jeanne Cohen Fund lecturer was Gretchen Ward Warren (Australia 1997).
