Breslauer, Rutman, and Anderson Research Fellowship

The Breslauer, Rutman, and Anderson Research Fellowship enables an advanced-standing PhD candidate to spend up to a month in residence at the Center every year. The result of a generous gift by Gerald Breslauer, Mickey Rutman, and Tammy Anderson, the fellowship will be awarded to a Ph.D. candidate from any discipline for dissertation research focused on testimony from the USC Shoah Foundation Visual History Archive and other USC resources.
