Each year, the Wolf Humanities Center provides fellowships for Penn undergraduate and graduate students, standing faculty at Penn and regional universities, and postdoctoral scholars who are interested in conducting research that relates to the Forum's topic. As part of their research, all fellows participate in the Center's interdisciplinary seminars (biweekly for students, weekly for faculty and postdoctoral scholars), as well as conferences and cultural events.
