Society of Fellows-Junior Fellowships

The purpose of the Society is to give men and women at an early stage of their scholarly careers an opportunity to pursue their studies in any department of the University, free from formal requirements. To be eligible for a Junior Fellowship, a candidate must be at an early stage of his or her scholarly career. Men and women interested in any field of study are accepted. Most Junior Fellows receive the Ph.D. just prior to the start of the fellowship. If still pursuing the Ph.D., Junior Fellows should be at the dissertation stage of their theses and be prepared to finish their degrees within a year of becoming fellows. If already a recipient of the degree, they should not be more than a year past the Ph.D. at the time the fellowship commences. Those elected receive three year fellowships.

Application is by nomination, generally by the academic advisor. Deadline is commonly late August or early September- visit funder website for exact date.
