Traveling Fellowships provide undergraduate and graduate students opportunities to further their global knowledge base. A number of Traveling Fellowships are available for students to receive funding for travel-based research projects. Being selected as a traveling fellow can be a life-changing journey and a truly enriching part of the academic experience at USC Architecture. Travel research is anticipated to occur the summer after the fellowship has been awarded (except where noted otherwise).
