Helen M. Woodruff Fellowship of the AIA and the American Academy in Rome

Purpose

The fellowship was made possible by a bequest from Helen M. Woodruff; Dr. Woodruff was herself the recipient of an AIA Fellowship in Mediaeval and Renaissance Archaeology in the 1920s, during which time she traveled to Rome and other locations in Europe. The Helen M. Woodruff Fellowship is awarded every other year to help support a Rome Prize at the American Academy in Rome, and provides for pre- or post-doctoral studies of archaeology and classical studies.
