The Rocca endowment supports student scholars at the advanced graduate level concentrating in African Studies. Funds may be requested for maintenance, travel, or research costs, as appropriate to enhance dissertation research in Africa in the upcoming academic year. Rocca funds are intended to supplement, not substitute for, other grants. Students are encouraged to apply to other sources as well. Awards are typically made in the range from $2000-$6000. In making awards, the Center adheres to the cap on stipends set by the Graduate Division, which in 2011 was $31,000 - combined for all fellowships awarded.
The Rocca Scholar program gives priority to advanced graduate students who show exceptional promise of advancing scholarship in some field of African Studies. Recipients of the award will carry the title Andrew and Mary Thompson Rocca Scholars, and must be advanced to candidacy before an award is made. Students are eligible for support regardless of previous fellowships from other sources.
Deadline: April 2nd
Please submit a hardcopy of your waiver form to the Center for African Studies at 342 Stephens Hall (mail code #2314).
Fill in the online application (Rocca/Ezera-use same online application form) and email the remaining application materials to asc@berkeley.edu.
