The Bhagavan Mahavira PhD Scholarship
In May 2024, the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) has received a generous support of $175,000 from Drs. Meera and Jasvant Modi as their contribution toward advocating for Jain values. The four-year scholarship beginning October 2024 will support academic research into nonviolence, truth, nonstealing, chastity and nonpossession.
Under Dr. Peter Snugel’s direction, JVCF is supporting a major initiative of the Jaina Prosopography Database (JPD) project, which will take five years to complete.
