Fellowships
Dissertation Fellowships in Urban Policy and Governance
The Taubman Center for State and Local Government plans to award several dissertation research fellowships to Kennedy School Ph.D. candidates or other Harvard University students in related fields preparing doctoral dissertations on urban policy and planning, economics, politics and governance, history, education, or social relations; public management at the state/provincial or local levels; or intergovernmental relations.
The fellowship will provide a $10,000 stipend and, if desired, office space at the Taubman Center in the Taubman Building of the Kennedy School of Government.
Candidates should have excellent academic records and well-defined research objectives. Preference will be given to applicants whose projects have progressed beyond the conceptual stages of the research.
To apply, please submit a letter (2-3 pages in length) explaining the nature and current status of the dissertation project, a resume, sample chapter(s) or other examples of professional writing, and the names of two faculty members who can be consulted as references.
Questions about these fellowships may be directed to Sandra Garron, (617) 495-3341, Sandra_Garron@harvard.edu

Taubman Center MPP Fellowship
The Kennedy School’s Taubman Center for State and Local Government is offering two-year fellowships to MPP students who have:
* A proven record of academic success
* Demonstrated potential for civic leadership
* A commitment to state and local issues in the United States or abroad.
Recipients are expected to write their Policy Analysis Exercise (PAE) for a public or non-profit entity focused on local, metropolitan, or state issues. Fellows are welcome to engage, as much as possible, in the activities of the Taubman Center throughout the term of the fellowship. In addition, after graduation, recipients are strongly encouraged to spend time working for a public or non-profit entity primarily focused on issues or services at the local, metropolitan, or state level.
