PICK YOUR TOOLS FOR MARCH FELLOWSHIP MADNESS 2019鈥擳he Finals
We have raised $6,295 of our $6,000 goal!
Our goal was to raise $6,000 during March鈥攅nough to fund 3 fellowships鈥攕o that we can award a total of 26 fellowships for summer excavation. WE DID IT TOGETHER. Thanks to your generosity we raised more than we did in March 2018!
Since 2007, with the generous support of our members and donors,聽ASOR has awarded over 635 fellowships, grants, scholarships, and travel awards. These fellowships and grants total just over $750,000, and they have enabled students and scholars across the Near East and the Mediterranean to uncover the past and to broaden our knowledge of the ancient world.
This year, YOU gave the tools that fellowship recipients need to succeed in the field!
Each tool below corresponds with a giving level. The Pickaxe was the most popular tool chosen (purchased) to help excavate the mosaic artifact below! ASOR is fortunate to have many generous members and friends.
Want to continue helping young scholars in the field? Click on a tool to navigate to our online store where you can type in your donation amount. Select “Excavation Scholarships” as your gift purpose:

Please also remember: we have a matching gift of $450,000 for the new office building that requires 450 donors to donate $10 or more to ASOR by June 30, 2019. Every donation to a fellowship counted towards this challenge鈥攕o every dollar you gave helped support both fellowships and the new office building!
If you donate to Excavation Scholarships, you support archaeology in a very direct way. Every gift matters. ASOR does not charge any administrative fee for gifts made during March Fellowship Madness and beyond, so 100% of your contribution will support students and early career scholars.
