Fellowships and scholarships home page
ASOR provides grant and scholarship support for excavations and for participation in the ASOR annual meeting. Through our affiliated overseas research centers (ACOR, AIAR, and CAARI), financial support is provided for research in Cyrpus, Jerusalem, and Jordan.
Excavation support: Beginning with the summer of 2007, ASOR has renewed its emphasis on providing excavations grants and fellowships to allows individuals to participate in excavations in the Easter Mediterranean. Over the past three years (2007-2009), ASOR has awarded 88 total scholarships for excavations through the Harris, Platt, and Heritage Fellowships.
Annual Meeting Fellowships: ASOR is committed to helping students attend its annual meeting. All students may apply for Lindstrom fellowships, and students at insitutional member schools may apply for Annual Meeting Travel Grants. In addition, ASOR solicits gifts to help attendees with need, so please contact Kelley Bazydlo (director of meetings and events) if you have a need and do not see an available scholarship.
Donors needed to help with ASOR's scholarship programs
ASOR is fortunate to have limited endowments that support excavation fellowships and scholarships for the annual meeting; however, the largest support for these scholarships comes from individual donors. Please contact executive director, Andy Vaughn, if you would like to help with a Heritage scholarship, general scholarship help, or an annual-meeting scholarship. Gifts of all amounts are needed and greatly appreciated.
