Please find details regarding the 2025 Gorgias Book Grant below. Scholars, if you can forward the information to suitable students, we'd be very grateful!
2025 Gorgias Book Grant: Receive $500 worth of Gorgias Press titles
The Gorgias Book Grant was first awarded in 2002. It is an important part of our ongoing efforts to support young scholars in the humanities. Every year, Gorgias chooses two graduate students to each receive an award of $500 worth of Gorgias titles (each) for demonstrating excellence in their fields.
2025 Grant Field: Any field within the scope of Gorgias publications (Ancient Near East, History, Biblical Studies, Jewish Studies, Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies, Language and Linguistics, Religion, Syriac and Eastern Christianity)
