The Euretta J. Kellett Fellowship is a prestigious prize awarded to two graduating seniors a year at Columbia College. The prize enables up to two years of study at either Oxford or Cambridge Universities.
It is rumored to have been begun as a consolation prize for seniors failing to win either a Rhodes or a Marshall Scholarship.
