Association for Jewish Studies (AJS) Dissertation Completion Fellowship

The Dissertation Completion Fellowships award finishing-year fellowships annually (up to $33,000 as well as complimentary registration fees to the 2025 AJS Annual Conference) to PhD students entering the final year of their programs and completing a dissertation in the field of Jewish Studies. The program also provides professional development opportunities, through a mid-year workshop and ongoing contact with mentors during the fellowship year. Only students who are ABD by application deadline, are in the final stages of writing their dissertations, and who display clear evidence of their ability to defend their dissertations by the end of June of the fellowship year are eligible to apply for this program. Applicants must also be current members of the AJS at the time of application (the current membership period runs from January to December 2024).
