The Zahi Hawass Prize in Egyptology

The friends of Zahi Hawass have decided to establish a fellowship at the American University in Cairo (AUC) called “The Zahi Hawass Prize in Egyptology.” The fellowship will be given to a student in the Egyptology department. A committee will be established to set the rules for the fellowship, which will be awarded to the most outstanding student of any nationality. The names of all the donors to the fellowship will be recognized.

This prize will be awarded to the best AUC student, Egyptian or foreigner, every year. The initial funding of this prize by Dr. Joseph Leone, a physician in the United States, began with $ 5,000. Additional contributors include:

Bruce and Carolyn Ludwig, AUC Board of Trustees;         $ 10,000
Supporters of Egypt

Margie Fisher, Margie Fisher Foundation, Egyptologist       $ 25,000

Nancy Siebens Binz                                                           $ 10,000
