The Royce Fellowship for Sport and Society recognizes Brown University undergraduates who have a record of excellence in academics and sport. The Program supports innovative research or applied projects that exploer the intersection of sport and human rights within a particular context such as health, education, conflict resolution, public policy and the rights of women, racial and ethnic groups, and persons with disabilities. The Fellowship supports reflection and inquiry by inspiring fellows to connect their scholarly work with that of their peers and designated faculty, staff and community leaders.
The Royce Fellowship for Sport and Society was established in 2007 through the generosity of Charles Royce, a 1961 graduate of Brown University and parent of two Brown graduates. Mr. Royce, president of Royce Funds, has served as a University trustee since 1989 and is an active member of several university committees, including director of the Sports Foundation.
