The Institute for Humane Studies at George Mason University invites applications for its Humane Studies Fellowships.
Humane Studies Fellowships (HSF) are awarded to full-time graduate students embarking on liberty-advancing careers in ideas. Moreover, the fellowships support study in a variety of fields, including economics, philosophy, law, political science, history, and sociology. Awards are up $15,000 and fellowship winners may re-apply for each year of their studies. . . .
But the program provides more than just monetary awards. The fellowships connect winners to a support network to guide them through a successful career in academia.Fellowship winners become preferred candidates for IHS invitation-only programs such as our Career Development Seminars, which help students think strategically about how to succeed in academia, our Colloquia that discuss and refine the fellows research, and our Summer Graduate Research Fellowship, which is a non-residential research and writing program that provides participants with the opportunity to complete a publishable scholarly article.
HSF is open to full-time and prospective graduate students, including law students. Exceptional candidates with an evident intention of advancing liberty through other intellectual activities, such as teaching, policy analysis, and law, will also be considered.
The application deadline for 2014-15 fellowships is January 31, 2014. (The $25 application fee is waived for applications before Jan. 5, with the code HSFJan5.)
