Up to $15,000 for full-time graduate students pursuing liberty-advancing research.

The Humane Studies Fellowship is a non-residency, renewable fellowship program that awards $2,000-$15,000 per year to each participant, and provides individual academic advising and a support network to foster academic success.

DESCRIPTION: By winning a Humane Studies Fellowship you will join a network of over 1,400 liberty-advancing scholars and students, including David Schmidtz at the University of Arizona, Tyler Cowen at George Mason University, and Randall Kroszner at the University of Chicago.
