Deadline to Apply is Friday, February 3rd. All accepted fellows will be notified by February 6th.
You are invited to apply to be a Spring 2023 Fellow for the Center for Jewish Studies. This is the fourth year offering this fellowship, and we're thrilled that it has been such a success so far. The fellowship is open to both undergraduate and graduate students, and each semester we have a great group. There are no prerequisites: students only need to bring with them curiosity to learn together. In order to participate in this fellowship, students commit to attending at least 3 Jewish Studies events during the semester (two must be in person, attendance will be taken). At the end of the semester, students will be asked to write a two-page reflection about the events they attended, what they learned, and how it relates to their own areas of research and teaching. To encourage students to participate, and also in recognition that doing so takes time that students might otherwise use to work, fellows will receive a stipend of $250 for undergraduates and $300 for graduate and law students upon completion of the requirements.
The Jewish Studies Fellowship Program encourages students to learn more about the field of Jewish Studies and to participate in the vibrant programs that the center hosts with visiting scholars. Through the Fellowship Program we aim to foster a thoughtful intellectual community that includes students, faculty, and community members in dialogue.
As fellows, they will be invited to join special events to meet visiting scholars and have the opportunity to engage in conversation with them and other participating students and faculty members. They will also have additional opportunities, which in past semesters have included exclusive tours at the Jewish Museum and Sotheby's, concerts, walking tours, and social gatherings for fellows. They will also have additional opportunities to conceive of events that interest them as we envision new directions in Jewish Studies, and to contribute to the Jewish Studies blog.
Each fellowship term is one semester long but students can participate for however many semesters they would like. There are a limited number of fellowships, which will be awarded in the order of application
