for 2017 will $2,000 per fellowships.

Eligibility:
Individual applicants must be members of ASOR or be enrolled as students at an ASOR-member school (see list of Institutional Members). Directors of Excavations may apply on behalf of their projects.
Applicants should apply for funding at CAP-affiliated excavations unless the Heritage donor specifies otherwise (see list of CAP-affiliated projects). Applicants are encouraged to apply for Heritage, Dever, MacAllister, Membership, Meyers, Meyers/Wright, Sheeler, Strange/ Midkiff, and Platt Fellowships using the uniform application form.
