Description
The NYU Scholars at Risk/Vivian G. Prins Global Scholars Fellowships, run by New York University, support temporary visits to NYU by professors, lecturers, researchers, and other intellectuals facing intimidation or persecution. Visits last up to one year, providing a period at the university for scholars whose circumstances in their home country or country of current residence place them at risk.
The program recognizes scholars who have shown potential to make important contributions to both their discipline and their community. Its focus is on supporting threatened scholars through a temporary academic stay, rather than funding a specified research topic, scientific field, or individual project.
