The Freilich Project offers up to three grants of $5000 each to emerging scholars as part of its Early Career Research Small Grants Scheme.
Each year the Herbert and Valmae Freilich Project for the Study of Bigotry may offer three grants known as the Herbert and Valmae Freilich Annual Early Career Research Small Grant.
The objective/s of the grants are to assist research into the causes, the histories and the effects of ethnic, cultural, religious and sexual bigotry and animosity, and to explore how such intolerance can be combated, and co-existence promoted.
