Maurice L. Mednick Memorial Fellowship
Available
only to Faculty at
VFIC Colleges & Universities
Purpose
of the Mednick Fun
The Maurice L. Mednick
Memorial was created in 1967 in honor of a young Norfolk industrialist who
died from accidental causes and whose family and business associates
wished to perpetuate his name by establishing a memorial that would
emphasize his and the donors’ strong interest in higher education.
Administration
of the Mednick Memorial Fund is vested in the Virginia Foundation for
Independent Colleges to encourage the professional development of college
teachers and improve their academic competence through fellowships for
research and advanced study.
A committee of VFIC business trustees and college presidents oversee the selection of research proposals for funding on an annual basis. The committee encourages each of the colleges to submit at least one proposal and, within reason, the committee tries to provide research dollars in an equitable manner among the colleges.
Applicants from Faculty of VFIC Member Colleges ONLY
