Evangelista Graduate Fellows Program
Details
Each year, the Reppy Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies provides a select cohort of fellows with unique opportunities for professional networking and development in the field of peace and conflict studies.
Evangelista Fellows participate in the Institute’s weekly public seminars and enjoy additional opportunities such as meeting with distinguished scholars in small groups and hosting the visit of scholars of their choosing. The Institute provides financial and administrative resources for these collective activities as well as a small ($350) research stipend for each Fellow. Current and former fellows also receive priority when applying for additional funding opportunities, such as the Institute’s Graduate Fellowship.
Each cohort of Evangelista Fellows is interdisciplinary, with interests spanning various issues, such as nuclear arms control and disarmament, climate change and conflict, governance of emerging technologies, human rights, race, and gender. Fellows are appointed for one year and may be renewed for subsequent years.
Eligibility
Masters, doctoral, and law students, including students beginning in fall 2026.
