CJPME's academic fellowships program is part of its broader strategy to support student and academic work related to Palestine. These fellowships are entirely funded by CJPME donors and an important way to elevate the acadmic discussion around Palestine. If you would like to support this work, please consider making a donation to CJPME. Monthly donations are especially helpful, as they sustain our ongoing work.

More Information
Palestine and its people have always had a rich cultural, religious, economic, and political life. This continues even though Palestine has, to date, been denied the opportunity to self-determine. As Palestinians struggle in Palestine and the diaspora, the CJPME Fellowships program helps to ensure that Canadian academic institutions support and encourage academic inquiry into Palestinians’ experience, heritage and struggle for freedom and self-determination.
CJPME offers up to two fellowships per year for students who are doing research and/or project work related to Palestine or Palestine solidarity work. Work on Palestine could be related to identity, culture, history, religion, art, politics or a related theme. Work-related to Palestinian solidarity could be related to liberation, self-determination, de-colonialization, community organizing, political advocacy, media advocacy, or related themes. The work must be performed by full-time students, in an academic context, for credit, with rigorous academic oversight and review. While not required, CJPME would prefer that the outputs of such work be sharable with the Canadian public once the work is complete.
