The Peter K. New Award is a scholarship program established by the American Political Science Association (APSA) in honor of the late Peter K. New, who was a professor of political science at the University of Essex and a leading scholar in the field of comparative politics. The scholarship is intended to support graduate students in the field of comparative politics who are conducting research on democratization and political regimes.
The scholarship is open to graduate students who are enrolled in a PhD program in political science or a related field, and who have completed at least one year of study. Applicants must submit a research proposal that demonstrates their expertise in comparative politics and their commitment to studying democratization and political regimes. The selection committee will consider the applicant’s academic achievements, research potential, and financial need.
The scholarship award amount is $2,500, and recipients may use the funds to cover tuition, fees, and other educational expenses related to their graduate studies. The Peter K. New Award is awarded annually, and the application deadline is typically in the fall.
The Peter K. New Award is one of many scholarship opportunities available to graduate students in political science and related fields. Students should explore all available scholarship and financial aid options to help offset the cost of their graduate education and pursue their research interests in comparative politics.
