Correspondence letters between Fred W. Alsup and Julius Rosenwald Fund staff, including William C. Haygood, Dorothy A. Elvidge, George M. Reynolds, and Raymond Paty, concerning multiple fellowship grants and renewals for his Ph.D. studies in Zoology at the University of Pennsylvania. The file contains Alsups applications detailing his research plan on the colloidal properties of protoplasm, his academic transcripts from Fisk University, and numerous confidential reference reports from his professors, such as Dr. L. V. Heilbrunn, who laud his exceptional abilities. Also included are many payment vouchers for his stipend and tuition, and reprints of two of his scientific papers published with the Funds support The Effects of Light Alone and Photodynamic Action on the Relative Viscosity of Amoeba Protoplasm and Photodynamic Action in the Eggs of Nereis Limbata. Later correspondence details the interruption of his career by Army service, his subsequent placement in medical school at Howard University under the Army Specialized Training Program ASTP, and his post war plans to return to research after completing his internship.
