The Ostad Fellowship in Jewish Studies

The Ostad Fellows in Jewish Studies was made possible by a generous gift from Michael and Alonna Ostad, P22 & P'24.

Ostad Fellowships will be awarded for undergraduate research in Jewish Studies; and preference will be given to proposals that focus on Jewish-Muslim relations and/ or women in Sephardic Judaism.  Other proposals in Jewish Studies will be considered depending on available funds.

Students will be required to submit:

• a one-page proposal of their project
• an estimated budget
• the name and contact information of a faculty member overseeing the project

Faculty nominations are also welcome.

All materials should be sent directly to serena.elliott@duke.edu with the subject line “Ostad Fellowship.”

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.
