The USC Dornsife Center for Advanced Genocide Research invites research proposals from USC undergraduate students for the 2027 Charles E. Scheidt Undergraduate Research Fellowship. The fellowship provides $3,000 support and will be awarded to an outstanding USC undergraduate student from any academic discipline who will advance research in Holocaust and Genocide Studies through the use of unique research resources at USC, including the Holocaust and Genocide Studies book collection, the Special Collections at USC Libraries, and the Visual History Archive. (Read more about these resources in the full Call for Applications on the website.) The Scheidt Undergraduate Research Fellow will be expected to be in residence at the USC Dornsife Center for Advanced Genocide Research for two semesters: Spring and Fall (12.5 hours a week for 12 weeks). The residency is expected to start no later than the week of mid-January 2027. The fellow will be expected to play a role in the activities of the Center and to give a public presentation based on their work and findings during the semester following the residency. For questions and consultations regarding your fellowship idea(s) or proposal, please reach out to cagr@usc.edu. This fellowship is only open to USC undergraduate students. The deadline for application is November 8, 2026.
