Applications for the Mercatus Graduate Student Fellowships close this week on March 15, 2025! Graduate students at any university and in any discipline are eligible to apply. All fellowships still open to applications are listed below.
We offer fellowships for students at George Mason University, for students pursuing other degrees at universities around the world, for high school students, and for early-career scholars.
Mercatus Center Fellowships expose participants to the ideas of mainline political economy and their real-world implications through robust discussion; provide financial assistance, exposure to scholars, and research experience; and connect fellows to an extensive alumni network.
Successful fellows have gone on to pursue careers in academia as well as public policy positions in federal and state governments and at prominent research institutions.
