The Amman Prize

The Amman Prize supports four months of research and residence in Jordan. Prize winners are provided with a monthly stipend, room and board, and a private workspace at ACOR (American Center of Research). The prize supports research in any field of scientific, social scientific, or humanistic research whose principal concern is Jordan, ancient, modern, or contemporary. This is a residential fellowship with required residency at ACOR. Three awards totaling $25,000 each are expected in 2026, including $5,000 for travel and research expenses such as language training. The prize has two categories: one for ABD doctoral students and one for postgraduate researchers at any career stage who have completed their formal course of study.
