Moynihan Center Fellowships
Supporting thought leaders and change makers
Moynihan Center Fellowships encompass four distinct opportunities for scholars, practitioners, and students united by a shared commitment to the improvement of society through public service and public scholarship. Each fellowship provides resources, opportunities, and incentives that enable individuals with a passion for blending critical thought, political engagement, and effective communication to advance the public interest. Together, Moynihan Center Fellowships nurture an intellectual community that spans academia, government, and journalism, and situates it within a vibrant and diverse college campus with a tradition of cross-disciplinary collaboration and vigorous debate.
