Amos Funkenstein Prize
In the academic year of 1999-2000, a scholarship in the memory of the late Prof. Amos Funkenstein was established as a common initiative of the Cohn Institute and the School of History at Tel Aviv University.
The prize is granted every year to student research conducted in one of Prof. Funkenstein’s fields of interest, which can be singled out as daring and highly original.
Ph.D. dissertations and M.A. theses which were handed in and accepted throughout an academic year can be nominated to receive the prize in that same year.
