The Harvard Academy for International and Area Studies
The Harvard Academy Scholars Program 2013-2014
The Academy Scholars Program identifies and supports outstanding
scholars at the start of their careers whose work combines
disciplinary excellence in the social sciences (including history and
law) with a command of the language, history, or culture of
non-Western countries or regions. Their scholarship may elucidate
domestic, comparative, or transnational issues, past or present.
The Academy Scholars are a select community of individuals with
resourcefulness, initiative, curiosity, and originality, whose work in
non-Western cultures or regions shows promise as a foundation for
exceptional careers in major universities or international
institutions. Harvard Academy Scholarships are open only to recent
Ph.D. (or comparable professional school degree) recipients and
doctoral candidates. Those still pursuing a Ph.D. should have
completed their routine training and be well along in the writing of
their theses before applying to become Academy Scholars; those in
possession of a Ph.D. longer than 3 years at the time of application
are ineligible.
Academy Scholars are appointed for 2 years by the Harvard Academy for
International and Area Studies and are provided time, guidance, and
access to Harvard University facilities. They receive substantial
financial and research assistance to undertake sustained projects of
research and/or acquire accessory training in their chosen fields and
areas. Some teaching is permitted but not required. The Senior
Scholars, a distinguished group of senior Harvard University faculty
members, act as mentors to the Academy Scholars to help them achieve
their intellectual potential.
Post-doctoral Academy Scholars will receive an annual stipend of
$64,000, and pre-doctoral Academy Scholars will receive an annual
stipend of $28,000. Applications for the 2013-2014 class of Academy
Scholars are due by October 1, 2012. Finalist interviews will take
place in Cambridge on December 10. Notification of Scholarships will
be made in January, 2013. For complete information on how to apply
