Description
The Sauer Fellowship, administered by the American Center of Research (ACOR), provides educational assistance for graduate students working in the archaeology of Jordan. For the 2027–2028 cycle, it supports a Jordanian graduate student enrolled in an archaeology or cultural heritage degree program in any country and participating in an ACOR-approved archaeological fieldwork or research project in Jordan.
Announced in 2000, the fellowship commemorates James A. Sauer, an archaeologist, scholar, teacher, and former ACOR director who encouraged archaeological research across all periods of Jordan’s history, from the prehistoric to the Islamic. It is sustained by the James A. Sauer Memorial Endowment, established through contributions from many donors, whose income is restricted to student scholarships.
