Named after the late Charles Krauthammer—preeminent intellectual journalist and staunch defender of America, Israel, and the Jewish people—the 2024–2025 Krauthammer Fellowship seeks aspiring writers, journalists, scholars, and policy analysts interested in Jewish ideas, modern Israel, and American political and civic life. The program will run from September 2024-June 2025.

This program is run in partnership with The Paul E. Singer Foundation.

What is the Krauthammer Fellowship?

The Krauthammer Fellowship is a part-time program—designed for full-time young professionals and graduate students—aimed at advancing the careers of aspiring Jewish intellectuals. Fellows are expected to produce and publish a serious writing project, as well as attend educational programming. Krauthammer Fellows who successfully complete all program requirements will receive a stipend totaling $5,000, in two installments. Please see our website for a selection of featured writing projects.
