The Association for Jewish Studies is pleased to again offer its Jordan Schnitzer First Book Publication Awards. This program is designed for current AJS member authors who already have secured publishing contracts but who require subventions to ensure publication of their first books. The AJS will grant awards of $5,000 each, payable directly to the press on behalf of the author. A multidisciplinary committee of scholars will evaluate applications. In deciding how to allocate these funds, the committee will consider both the scholarly significance of the book and the demonstrated need for subvention support. Applications are invited from AJS members in all research disciplines. In 2024, there will be two award cycles: Applicants can either submit an application during the first cycle, which closes at the end of June, or they can submit an application during the second award cycle, which closes on December 31. Notifications will follow within roughly six weeks of each application deadline.
Deadline: June 30, 2024
