Dear friends,
We are pleased to inform you of the availability of funding for European scholars who intend to participate in the fourteenth World Congress of Jewish Studies. The scholarships are titled "Small Grants for Research Purposes" and participation in the congress would mean that you would qualify for consideration if you applied for a grant. Application forms, as well as information about the eligibility criteria, can be found on the following website:
www.jewishstudiesgrants.org
We would like to emphasize a few conditions of the grant programme:
1. Scholarships are limited to PhD. students and Post Doctoral students studying at European institutions only.
2. The scholarships are granted and administrated by an independent foundation which reviews applications and selects candidates without any involvement of the World Union of Jewish Studies.
3. We advise presenting applications only after your lecture proposal has been accepted by the Congress's Executive Committee. Therefore, lecture proposals for the congress should be presented as soon as possible.
We hope these scholarships will enable some of you to attend the congress and take part in its many activities.
Sincerely,
Haim Weiss
Congress Secretary
