Foundation for Jewish Culture Accepting Applications for Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship in Jewish Studies
Foundation for Jewish Culture Accepting Applications for Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship in Jewish Studies
A program of the Foundation for Jewish Culture, the Maurice and Marilyn Cohen Fund for Doctoral Dissertation Fellowships in Jewish Studies encourages scholarly research, publication, and teaching in the various disciplines of Jewish studies.
The fellowships are available to emerging scholars who are working in their last year of thesis writing within recognized fields associated with Jewish studies. Applicants should be completing an original, English-language dissertation.
To be eligible, applicants must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States or Canada; have completed all academic requirements for the Ph.D., except dissertation, by the date of application; demonstrate significant course work in Jewish studies at the graduate level; provide evidence of proficiency in a Jewish language (i.e. Hebrew, Yiddish, Ladino, Aramaic, etc.); and have a proposal or prospectus that has been approved by a thesis committee. A strong preference is given to individuals preparing for academic careers in Jewish studies, and to those who indicate that they will pursue a career in the United States. Applications must be in English.
To enable recipients to devote themselves fully to completing the dissertation, it is expected that they will not hold a full-time job or equivalent academic workload during the fellowship year.
In previous years the foundation has awarded fellowships of between $16,000 and $20,000 to dissertation fellows.
