Deadlines: September 11, 2025 (Humanities); September 30, 2025 (STEM)
The Radcliffe Fellowship Program supports 50 scholars, artists, and public intellectuals who have demonstrated records of achievement in their respective fields and show great promise for future contributions.
Throughout the year, fellows convene regularly to share their work in progress, supporting one another in various intellectual groups and building connections through social events. They benefit from access to Harvard’s libraries and archives, to professional development opportunities, and to Harvard college students through participating in the Radcliffe Research Partnership Program. In this program, students intellectually engage with fellows and their projects by researching sources, reviewing book chapters, discussing new approaches to projects, and more.
Online application for the 2026–2027 fellowship year is now available.
The deadline for applications in humanities, social sciences, and creative arts is September 11, 2025, 11:59 PM ET.
The deadline for applications in science, engineering, and mathematics is September 30, 2025, 11:59 ET.
Applicants may apply as individuals or in groups of two people working on the same project. We seek diversity across discipline, career stage, and all dimensions.
