CPL announces doctoral fellowship

The Center for Public Leadership at the Kennedy School of Government has announced the availability of one doctoral fellowship for the 2002-03 academic year. The fellowship, designed to provide the successful applicant with the opportunity to complete, or make significant progress toward the completion of his or her dissertation, is open to any student in good standing in a Harvard University doctoral or advanced degree program. Generally, the successful applicant will have advanced to doctoral candidacy. Applicants who have not yet advanced to candidacy, however, may be considered.

Applications will be evaluated on the basis of the originality and quality of the project; whether the project addresses a significant public leadership issue; how the term “public leadership” is being used; evidence that the project will be completed within a reasonable period of time; and the applicant’s background/experience and promise of scholarly achievement.
