HKS Masters degree fellowships

The Empedocle Maffia Fellowship

The Italian Ministry of Environment, Land and Sea in conjunction with Harvard's Kennedy School of Government have established a fellowship to support one Mid-Career Master in Public Administration student and one student in any of HKS's two-year degree programs. This fellowship provides tuition and fees support and an annual stipend for living expenses for incoming admitted Italian citizens who already have practical experience working on international environment and development policy issues and who intend to pursue careers in environment and development after graduation from the Kennedy School of Government. This fellowship was established to honor the legacy of Empedocle Maffia, a distinguished Italian, who held positions in academia, the public sector, and journalism.
