The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) is delighted to offer its Summer Graduate Student Research Fellowship. The fellowship is exclusively open for both USA and international applicants, those accepted to or currently enrolled in a master’s degree program or in their first year of a PhD program.
The aim of the fellowship is to support significant research and writing about the Holocaust and to encourage MA-level and first year PhD students to test ideas, share research findings, debate methodological or interruptive processes, and develop frameworks for their projects.
The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) is the United States’ official memorial to the Holocaust. Adjacent to the National Mall in Washington, D.C., the USHMM provides for the documentation, study, and interpretation of Holocaust history.
