Reagan-Fascell Democracy Fellowship Program

PhD Fellowships » Academic Fellowships » Fellowship Programs

Reagan-Fascell Democracy Fellowship Program: The Reagan-Fascell program was established primarily to support democratic activists, human rights advocates, journalists, and others who work on the front lines of democracy promotion in emerging and aspiring democracies.

The program seeks to provide experienced activists with an opportunity to reflect on their work, learn from counterparts in the United States, and reevaluate techniques for building democracy in their country of origin.

Fellowships on the practitioner track tend to be short-term (5 months), typically culminating in a strategy memorandum, short article or op-ed, and a formal presentation of the fellow’s analysis and ideas.

The Scholarly Track

The Reagan-Fascell program offers a scholarly track principally for professors and researchers from emerging and aspiring democracies.

Accomplished scholars from established democracies are also eligible to apply.

Applicants are expected to possess a Ph.D., or academic equivalent, at the time of application, and to have developed a rigorous research outline.
