Galbraith Scholars.
Who: The Galbraith Scholars program seeks students of exceptional
promise and uncommon perspective who have demonstrated interests in
issues of inequality and social policy. College sophomores, juniors, and
seniors enrolled in any U.S. college or university are eligible for
selection. The Galbraith Scholars program is designed to cultivate a
diverse new generation of scholars and leaders, and students of color
and students of limited economic means are particularly encouraged to apply.
What: The program aims to illuminate graduate school and career options
for talented undergraduates who aspire to apply themselves to important
social problems. Students selected for the program win full fellowships
covering travel, accommodation, and activity expenses to attend a
special five-day session at Harvard University led by Harvard faculty,
doctoral fellows, and other invited speakers and social policy
practitioners. Galbraith Scholars explore a range of social policy
issues through graduate-style seminars, panel discussions, workshops,
off-site field trips, and collaborative activities.
