Frank Knox believed that strong ties between the United States and the British Commonwealth were essential to international peace.The Frank Knox Memorial Fellowship program promotes this legacy through scholarly exchange, in part by providing fellowships to students from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom who wish to conduct graduate study at one of Harvard University?s graduate or professional schools.Mrs Knox expressed the hope that holders of the fellowships, after gaining knowledge and experience from study away from their native land, will return to their home to become leaders in their chosen fields.
