Kennedy Research Fellows
The David M. Kennedy Center for International Studies invites applications for Kennedy Research Fellowships for fall semester 2026.
We have research fellowships for both students and faculty. Both student and faculty fellows will pursue a research project during fall semester related to the Kennedy Center’s fall 2026 academic theme: Religion, Identity, and Public Life: Pluralism, Interfaith Cooperation, and Governance.
Fellows will complete an academic paper or creative work during fall semester and present the results of their research during the Kennedy Center lecture series in fall semester 2026.
Student fellows will select a mentor to help guide their research and receive a research stipend of $1,000. Faculty fellows will receive a research stipend of $4,000. Half of the stipend will be awarded at the beginning of the semester and half at the end of the semester upon conclusion of the research.
Applications for fall 2026 are due 1 April 2026.
