Description
The Bert and Sally de Vries Fellowship, administered by the American Center of Research (ACOR), helps students meet essential expenses associated with archaeological projects or research in Jordan. It supports participation in ongoing field or study projects, as well as independent research accepted by ACOR or another academic institution as scholarly and ethical. The award provides partial support rather than covering all project expenses.
Bert and Sally de Vries established the fellowship in 2004 to support students participating in archaeological excavations in Jordan. It reflects their more than forty years of work in the country as researchers and administrators, including service at ACOR and the Umm el-Jimal excavations.
