Claims Conference Academic Fellowships for Advanced Shoah Studies

The Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany (Claims Conference) is offering a limited number of fellowships for Ph.D. candidates pursuing studies of the Holocaust.

The Claims Conference is supporting Ph.D. Candidates pursuing advanced study of the fate of Jews who were systematically targeted for destruction or persecution by the Nazis and their allies between 1933 and 1945. Studies can include the immediate historical context in which the Shoah took place; its political, economic, legal, religious and socio-cultural aspects; and its ethical and moral implications.

Claims Conference Academic Fellowships are awarded to outstanding candidates with a strong personal commitment to Shoah memory, who have demonstrated excellence in academic achievement, and who possess the potential to provide outstanding professional leadership that will shape the future of Shoah awareness.

All are encouraged to apply, irrespective of citizenship, gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, religion or disability. Please note that the Claims Conference Fellowship Program honors the admissions policies of participating educational institutions.
