Holocaust Museum Annual Fellowships 2026 – $5,000 Funding

The Mandel Center Fellowship Program supports substantial research and writing projects that focus on the Holocaust and other closely related topics. The programme is intended to promote serious academic research and encourage new perspectives through interdisciplinary scholarship.

Fellows benefit from access to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's extensive research resources, including archival collections, library materials, oral histories, audiovisual resources, and museum collections. These resources can provide valuable support for scholars working on projects that contribute to a deeper understanding of the Holocaust and its historical, social, and human dimensions.

Beyond research support, fellows become part of a collaborative academic environment. They have opportunities to interact with other scholars, develop their research projects, exchange ideas, and participate in relevant academic programmes and activities.

Successful fellows receive a $5,000 monthly stipend, which may be subject to applicable taxes.

In addition to the financial support, fellows gain access to the Museum's extensive research resources and an academic environment that can support the development and completion of their research and writing projects.

The fellowship is open to scholars at different stages of their academic careers. Applicants are not required to be senior academics or current university faculty members.

Eligible applicants may include:

• PhD candidates who are ABD (All But Dissertation) and are ready to undertake substantial research or writing.
• Established scholars pursuing research related to the Holocaust or related subjects.
• Faculty members between appointments who are seeking time and resources to advance their research.
• Unaffiliated scholars who are conducting independent academic research.
• Researchers at other stages of their academic careers whose projects align with the objectives of the fellowship.

This broad eligibility makes the programme suitable for researchers from a variety of academic and professional backgrounds.
