The ISI Richard M. Weaver Fellowship is a scholarship program that provides financial support to doctoral students who are pursuing a degree in a field related to the study of freedom and Western civilization. It is administered by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, a nonprofit organization that promotes conservative principles on college and university campuses.
The fellowship program awards multiple scholarships of up to $15,000 each year to selected students who meet the eligibility criteria. To be eligible, students must be enrolled in a full-time doctoral program in the United States, pursuing a degree in a field related to the study of freedom and Western civilization.
Applicants must also demonstrate academic excellence, leadership potential, and a commitment to the principles of a free society. The program is open to students of any nationality, and preference is given to applicants who are citizens or permanent residents of the United States.
Applications for the ISI Richard M. Weaver Fellowship typically open in the fall and are available on the ISI website. The application process requires students to submit academic transcripts, two letters of recommendation, and a personal essay.
