Applicants will be advised as to the decision of the Steering Committee on or before 15th January 2001. May we ask you kindly to share this information with any persons who you feel would be suitable for possible inclusion in the programme. The Academic Study Group is a British charitable foundation which promotes research collaboration between British scholars and centres of excellence in Israel. In the coming period, A.S.G. will offer 20-30 modest, individual travel bursaries. These scholarships bear the name of Sir Isaiah Berlin who was one of the original founding Council members of the Foundation.
Grants cover merely return air passage and a tiny sum more.
Scholars in any field of enquiry can apply for an A.S.G. award. Applications are considered each year in March and again in November. Students will be presented with an opportunity to study at renowned universities, while gaining first hand experience of living in a country as diverse in terrain as it is in people. Dependants or other family members must be supported independently. Travel expenses to and from Israel are not included in the scholarship.
