These are fellowships named in honor of Patricia King (1937-1994) the first Carl and Lily Pforzheimer Director of the Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America at Radcliffe College. King was elected to the Radcliffe chapter of Phi Beta Kappa as an undergraduate, and served as an officer until her death. The fellowships, intended to sustain the independent and original research essential to any outstanding thesis or project, were originally a program of the Radcliffe chapter but are now open to men and women students. Students do not apply for these fellowships separately, but are automatically considered when they apply to the Harvard College Research Program for a summer award.
