Peace Scholar Dissertation Fellowship Program, United States Institute of Peace

Application deadline: September 23, 2020

USIP’s Peace Scholar Fellowship program awards non-residential fellowships to students enrolled in U.S. universities who are writing doctoral dissertations on topics broadly related to conflict management, peacebuilding and relevant security studies. Since 1988, the program has supported the dissertations of 332 young scholars, many of whom have gone on to distinguished careers in research, higher education, and policy making.

The 2021-22 Peace Scholar Competition is now open. Registration for the competition closes on September 23, 2020, and all completed applications are due by Wednesday, October 14, 2020. Any applications submitted after the deadline will not be considered for this competition. Please see the Application Process section below for more details.

This program partners with the Minerva Research Initiative to support additional fellowships relating to topics on peace and security studies. Currently, the program awards up to 20 scholarships 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 and other related academic disciplines, as well as diplomacy and international policy-making, are strongly encouraged.
