Excavation Fellowships: 146 ASOR Fellowships Awarded Since 2007
Beginning with the summer of 2007, ASOR has renewed its emphasis on providing excavation grants and fellowships that allows individuals to participate in excavations in the Eastern Mediterranean. Since 2007, ASOR has awarded 146 total scholarships for excavations through the Harris, Platt, and Heritage Fellowships.
- Heritage Fellowships: In addition to endowed scholarships, each year generous ASOR donors support Heritage scholarships for students and other worthy individuals to participate in excavations. Application deadline is February 20, 2012.
- Platt Fellowships: these fellowships were made possible by a generous endowment given by the late Mrs. Katherine Barton Platt. These funds support scholarships for individuals to participate in excavations. Application deadline is February 20, 2012.
- Harris Fellowships: these fellowships were made possible by a generous endowment given by the late Rev. Charles Harris. These funds support excavation work of ASOR-affiliated projects. Application deadline will be announced when these funds are available.
Donors needed to help with ASOR's scholarship programs
ASOR is fortunate to have modest endowments that support excavation fellowships and scholarships for the annual meeting; however, the largest support for these scholarships comes from individual donors on an annual basis. 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.
