Competition is open to students who are citizens or permanent residents of the United States.
The award is to be used for travel and study in Greece, the Aegean Islands, Sicily, Southern Italy, Asia Minor or Mesopotamia. Although the award is to be used primarily for travel in these countries, additional travel may be included as appropriate. The Deed of Trust states that students of the Classics, sculpture, architecture, archaeology and history would be the most suitable recipients of the fellowship, and specifies that the word student shall not be taken to restrict awards to persons registered in academic institutions. The award is not intended to support field excavation projects. Recipients may not hold other major fellowships during the requested tenure of the Olivia James award.
