Graduate Studies Fellowship Committee
The Azrieli Fellowship Committees
Candidates for Azrieli Fellowships are assessed by independent Selection Committees made up of experts who are qualified to judge candidates’ past academic achievements, qualities of personal merit and leadership, and future potential to make cutting edge contributions in each of the fields of research. The Azrieli Fellows selection process is transparent, and members of the committees are called upon explicitly to act independently of any institutional considerations. A statistical evaluation has proven the committees’ success in maintaining objectivity, and selecting solely on the basis of excellence.
