The Amanda V. Houston Fellowship provides up to $3000 toward domestic or international travel, including transportation, lodging, meals, and research-related expenses. Recipients can use the award for either an Independent Research Project under the supervision of a faculty member or a Research Paper attached to an approved course in a BC-recognized study abroad program. If the applicant will be studying abroad, then the Research Paper can be the result of approved coursework. The content of either the Independent Research Project or the Research Paper must significantly focus on African or African Diaspora Communities. The award must be used during the summer or fall semester of the fellowship year. Please visit the institution's website for more information.
