Judaic Studies Research Fellowships
Binghamton University students can help our faculty with their own research, developing
critical thinking and research skills in the process. It is semester-based obligation,
and students will get stipends for their work. The maximum award is $750.
Please note: it is student's responsibility to check if such stipend would interfere
with their Financial Aid or other scholarships / awards they might receive.
Summer Scholars and Artists
The Summer Scholars and Artists Program supports students' original research or creative project through a stipend, enabling recipients to engage in primary research or creative activities with guidance from faculty mentors. Students with interests in Judaic studies are encouraged to apply for Department supported SSAP fellowships. Areas might include creative writing, Jewish history, Yiddish or Hebrew language and culture, philosophy of religion, creative writing, or related fields. All project ideas are warmly invited.
The program supports undergraduate students in at least eight weeks of full-time scholarly
activity. Students receive a $3500 stipend (sponsoring faculty receive $1000). Binghamton
provides free on-campus housing for eight weeks, if desired
Here is the B-Engaged RSVP link for the SSAP Info Session, which is taking place on Wednesday, January 29, 4-4:45

Harpur Fellows
The Harpur Fellows Program provides support up to four recipients to pursue a passionate interest through a self-designed project that serves a community of your choosing. Projects can be independent of your academic program or major. Selected fellows receive up to $4,000 to pursue their project. Harpur Edge staff are available to provide guidance throughout the application process to the conclusion of your project. Most projects occur over the summer to allow fellows to devote their full attention to their project. Pursue your passion - make a difference!
The Department of Judaic Studies is offering funding for a Harpur Fellow whose proposal
fits a related field.
Previous Harpur Fellows include Judaic Studies major Tamar Ashdot, who spent part of her summer in Rosario, Argentina, volunteering at a Jewish community
day school.
Details and application instruction can be found on the Harpur Fellows page.
The application deadline is January 24, 2025.
