2026 Shultz Fellowship

Hillel@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@Stanford will award several fellowships of up to $7,000 each to Stanford students to conduct research pertaining to modern Israeli politics, culture, society, the economy, and/or the betterment of Israeli-Arab relations (including Israeli-Palestinian relations).

​

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 enrolled currently 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.
