MESP Undergraduate RA Funding

To support research collaborations between MESP faculty and undergraduate students, the program awards two Undergraduate Research Assistant (RA) Fellowships each academic year for $1,500. The fellowships are awarded to Syracuse University faculty working on Middle Eastern studies-related research projects to hire undergraduate students to work as RAs. Interested faculty should submit their proposals and the student’s CV to Professor Yael Zeira yzeira@syr.edu, by Wednesday, April 1, 2026.
