Center for Public Leadership announces fellowships

The Center for Public Leadership at the Kennedy School of Government has announced the availability of one doctoral fellowship for the 2003-04 academic year. The fellowship, open to any student in good standing in a Harvard doctoral or advanced-degree program, is designed to provide the successful applicant the opportunity to complete and/or make significant progress toward the completion of his or her dissertation. Generally, the recipient will have advanced to doctoral candidacy. Applicants who have not yet advanced to candidacy, however, may be considered. The application deadline is April 4.

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