The USIP Peace Scholar Fellowship Programme 2024
The USIP Peace Scholar Fellowship Program grants non-residential fellowships to students enrolled in U.S. universities who are writing doctoral dissertations on topics broadly related to conflict management, peace building and required security studies. Since 1988, the program has supported the dissertations of 371 young scholars, many of whom have gone on to prominent careers in research, higher education, and policy making.
This program partners with the Minerva Research Initiative to support additional fellowships. Presently, the program awards up to 18 fellowships per year, and awards support both research and writing stages of work on dissertations.
Applications from members of groups traditionally under-represented in the field of international relations, peace and conflict studies, security studies, and other related academic disciplines, as well as diplomacy and international policy-making, are highly motivated.
