The Eidlitz selection committee has announced the recipients of the 2009–10 Robert James Eidlitz Travel Fellowship. Of the 25 proposals submitted by architecture students and alumni, five projects were chosen to receive funding.

The fellowship was established in 1938 by Eidlitz’s widow, Sadie Boulton Eidlitz, as a memorial to her husband. Both Robert and Sadie are Cornell alumni, graduating in 1885 and 1884, respectively. Sadie Eidlitz designed the fellowship to supplement professional education through travel-based study.
