USIP’s Peace Scholar Fellowship program awards non-residential fellowships to PhD candidates 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 371 young scholars, many of whom have gone on to distinguished careers in research, higher education, and policy making.
Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates interested in developing capacity in conflict management, peacebuilding and relevant security studies to apply for the USIP Peace Scholar Fellowship Program 2023.
The program is supported by the United States Institute of Peace and awards up to 18 scholarships per year as well as support 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 are strongly encouraged to apply.
