The Myer and Rosaline Feinstein Center for American Jewish History normally provides for an annual summer fellowship to support research in American Jewish History. The grant of $2,500 is available to graduate students and untenured faculty members at any American or Canadian university. The Feinstein Center has a special interest in research that focuses on Philadelphia Jewish history, but it will consider all appropriate subjects in making its awards.

Candidates should submit proposals of no more than five typewritten, double-spaced pages to Dr. Michael Alexander, Director, Feinstein Center for American Jewish History, Temple University, 1515 Market Street, Suite 215, Philadelphia, PA, 19102.   A letter of support from the graduate student's research director, or -- in the case of faculty members -- a colleague familiar with the applicant's qualifications to undertake the project, should accompany the proposal as well as a copy of the applicant's curriculum vitae. Smaller grants for honorable mention may be awarded if qualified proposals are submitted and funding permits.

Proposals for the summer fellowship are usually due by April 15 of each year. Announcements of awards will be made by the end of June of the same year.
