RICCI INSTITUTE TRAVEL GRANTS

The Ricci Institute annually awards several travel grants to doctoral candidates, post-doctoral researchers, and established scholars in the United States (but from outside of northern California) to travel to the University of San Francisco during the academic year to use the Ricci Institute Collection for their research on topics related to Chinese-Western cultural exchange, Jesuit interaction with China from the late Ming through early 20th century, and/or the history of Christianity in China.

Grants provide reimbursement (based on actual receipts) of up to to $1000 of approved expenses related to travel to and research at the USF Ricci Institute (travel, accommodation, and photocopying expenses). Priority consideration will be given to applicants who demonstrate in their application how the Ricci Institute’s library holdings will facilitate their research.

Read a description of the Ricci Institute Library or visit the Library Catalog.

Awards are funded by the EDS-Stewart Chair for Chinese-Western Cultural History and, for American scholars of Asian descent, the Ricci Asian Scholars Endowment.
