The successful recipients can use the award for either an Independent Research Project under the supervision of a faculty member or a Research Paper attached to an approved course in a BC-recognized study abroad program. The content of either the Independent Research Project or the Research Paper must significantly focus on African or African Diaspora Communities. 

The award must be used during the summer or fall semester of the fellowship year.
