The United States Institute of Peace (USIP) Peace Scholar Fellowship program awards non-residential fellowships to students enrolled in U.S. universities who are writing doctoral dissertations on topics broadly related to conflict management, peacebuilding and relevant security studies. The program awards up to 18 scholarships per year, and awards support both 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 and other related academic disciplines, as well as diplomacy and international policy-making, are strongly encouraged.
Peace Scholar Awards are currently set at $20,000 per academic year and are paid directly to the individual. Scholarships can be used for any phase of work on dissertations, but does not support pre-dissertation level graduate work. Peace Scholars carry out their fellowship work at their universities or other sites appropriate to their research.
