Israel Studies offers fellowships to support doctoral students, language study, and travel.

Israel Studies Dual Language Fellowship

Deadline: Ongoing
Stipend: up to $1000
Application Requirements:

  • Completed Application Form (download pdf here)

The Dual Language Fellowship promotes the study of both Hebrew and Arabic as key to understanding Israel’s place in the Middle East region. This fellowship encourages students who have studied either Hebrew or Arabic to complement this primary foreign language with at least one year (two semesters) of a second one relevant to the study of Israel. Undergraduate or graduate students must complete four semesters (or the equivalent) of either Hebrew or Arabic and demonstrate a commitment to studying at least two semesters of the other. Applicants must complete an application form and provide a 2-page narrative describing the reasons for pursuing dual-language Arabic and Hebrew study. Undergraduate and graduate students in any UT degree program are eligible to apply.

Please send your completed materials to the Schusterman Center at scjs@austin.utexas.edu
