Description
Established by the American Center of Research (ACOR) in April 2025, the Jennifer C. Groot II Memorial Fellowship is an endowed award that helps Jordanians and residents of Jordan prepare for future graduate-level study in Europe or the Americas. It seeks to improve access to advanced education by strengthening students’ preparation and qualifications through English-language courses, standardized-test preparation, required tests, and assistance from ACOR staff.
The fellowship gives preference to applicants studying archaeology, history, or fields related to Jordan’s cultural heritage. Named in memory of field archaeologist and teacher Jennifer C. Groot, it extends the access-oriented purpose of the original Groot fellowship through a distinct focus on preparation for graduate education abroad rather than fieldwork.
