The Harvard University Academy Scholars Program identifies and supports outstanding scholars at the start of their careers whose work combines disciplinary excellence in the social sciences with a command of the language and history or culture of countries or regions outside the United States or Canada. Their scholarship may elucidate domestic, comparative, or transnational issues, past or present.

The Academy Scholars are a select community of individuals with resourcefulness, initiative, curiosity, and originality, whose work in cultures or regions outside the US or Canada shows promise as a foundation for exceptional careers in major universities or international institutions. Each year, four to six Academy Scholars are named for two-year appointments. Academy Scholars are expected to reside in the Cambridge/Boston area for the duration of their appointments unless traveling for pre-approved research purposes.

Program Details

  • Host institution: Harvard Academy for International and Area Studies, United States of America.
  • Areas: Social sciences.
  • Number of awards: Five to six.
  • Target group: Open to all Nationalities.
