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.
