Stipends cover research and living expenses during the residency and are not meant to replace full salary. Fellows are provided office space and access to all University of Virginia research and recreational facilities. The Center's Institute on Violence and Culture offers up to four Rockefeller Fellowships for scholars exploring the belief systems and metaphysics of war-torn worlds. Scholarship should focus on survivor and other texts and accounts, and on fiction, poetry, and other forms of expression. Interdisciplinary and cross-cultural projects are encouraged.
Fellowships are open to academic and independent scholars.
Fellows are required to be in residence for the length of the award and to participate in the Foundation's events.
