Jennifer C. Groot Memorial Fellowship

Jennifer C. Groot Memorial Fellowships provides two awards for undergraduate or graduate students to enable their participation in an archaeological excavation or survey in Jordan. The fellowships are to assist in partial payment of essential expenses and are strictly limited to students with little or no prior archaeological field experience.

The fellowship must be used during the period between May 1 of the award year and April 30 of the following year. Prior recipients of a Jennifer C. Groot Memorial Fellowship or applicants who have had more than one season in the field are ineligible. Senior staff whose expenses are being borne largely or entirely by the project are ineligible. The Jennifer C. Groot Memorial Fellowship provides support in the amount of $3,000 for each award. Applicants must be U.S. or Canadian citizens and must be planning to participate in an ASOR/CAP affiliated project in Jordan.

Required application materials include:
- Completed application form
- Academic review (either a letter from a project director confirming acceptance into an ongoing field or study project or, in the case of an independent research project, proof that your research has been accepted by ACOR or another academic institution as a scholarly and ethical project).
- Project proposal narrative (up to 2,000 words, not including bibliography).
- Transcript(s) (first-year graduate students should submit both graduate and undergraduate transcripts).
- One recommendation

Deadline for applications is February 15.
Applicants will be notified in April.
