The Stroum Center’s interdisciplinary graduate fellowship program supports current M.A. and Ph.D. students from a wide variety of disciplines at the University of Washington whose research connects to Jewish studies.

Graduate fellows share their research through public presentations and articles published on the Stroum Center’s website. The fellowship includes monthly workshops exploring the history and methodologies of Jewish studies; professional development in the areas of public scholarship and library skills; and networking with faculty.

The fellowship offers grants of $4,000 to awardees and is made possible by the Stroum Center’s generous community supporters.

This interdisciplinary fellowship program supports current M.A. and Ph.D. students from departments across the University of Washington whose research relates to Jewish studies.

Past fellows have come from UW departments ranging from history and comparative religion to education and information science. Graduate students from all departments and disciplines are encouraged to apply.

Any graduate student planning to be enrolled at the University of Washington in the coming academic year is eligible to receive the fellowship, as long as they can demonstrate a strong connection between their research and Jewish studies topics. However, applicants should have some past coursework related to Jewish studies.
