Shultz Fellowship

Hillel at Stanford is pleased to present the George and Charlotte Shultz Fellowship in Modern Israel Studies to support student research on issues relevant to modern Israel and the betterment of Israeli-Arab relations.

​

Each year, Hillel at Stanford awards several fellowships to Stanford students to conduct research on modern Israeli politics, culture, society, the economy, and/or the betterment of Israeli-Arab relations (including Israeli-Palestinian relations).

​

The 2026 fellowship cohort has been selected. Applications for the next cycle will open in early 2027.

​

The fellowship is open to all Stanford undergraduate and graduate students in all fields with an interest in researching modern Israeli issues. Students of all backgrounds and religious affiliations — or lack thereof — and in all disciplines, including business, engineering, law, medicine, science, and the humanities, are encouraged to apply.

​

Fellows must:

• Have completed their 1st year of undergraduate or graduate studies at Stanford at the time the travel to Israel commences.

• Be currently enrolled at Stanford University and in good academic standing.

• Present a cohesive research/action research project that can be exhibited or otherwise presented on campus at the conclusion of the research term.

• Secure a letter of support from a Stanford faculty advisor.
