The South African Institute of International Affairs: Barratt Rotary Award
This Fellowship is made annually as funds permit. The award is offered to a deserving researcher, usually under the age of 30, for a period of four months. The award usually covers the following costs:
- Basic student accommodation in Johannesburg
- A monthly stipend
- Limited local travel
- A return economy class air ticket to Johannesburg from the place of origin
Personal insurance and medical aid are the responsibility of the Fellow.
The Barratt Rotary Fellow is expected to play a full part in the day-to-day affairs of the Institute. This can include editing, research and general administrative tasks. The Fellow must also pursue original research on South Africa or Southern African issues in a field of his/her choice. This may be academically inclined, but could reflect the particular skills of the Fellow. This must be written up into a 20,000 word monograph before the conclusion of the Fellowship term. From time to time the Fellow may be asked to address various branches of SAIIA and Rotary on topics related to the research being undertaken.
Applications must include two copies of a full CV with 3 references, and a basic research proposal outlining the project to be undertaken during the course of the Fellowship.
