The Ash Center selects fellows in a highly competitive process that brings scholars, practitioners, and political leaders to the School for term appointments with a host of opportunities to pursue independent research projects, enhance their professional skills, and network with their peers.
Fellows contribute greatly to the intellectual community at the Ash Center and Harvard Kennedy School. In addition to individual research pursuits, fellows audit classes, attend regular research seminars, meet with faculty and students, and participate in public events. Fellowships are offered through the Ash Center's various programs, projects, and initiatives both via application and by invitation only. For more on the Center’s current open fellowships, including application requirements, selection criteria, and funding availability, please visit the individual fellowship programs below for additional information.
The Ash Center also makes available significant resources for students, including supporting a number of different student fellowships. For more information on the Ash Center’s support for students, including student fellowships, please visit our student support page.
