Rogers Center Grants for Graduate Scholarship on the U.S. Presidency

The Rogers Center for the American Presidency is pleased to announce its graduate research fellowship program for summer 2024.

To apply for the grant, graduate students should send a one-page precis of their research (please include the name of current research advisors), along with a c.v., to Madeline Fry by April 15, 2024. The award recipients will be announced in May 2024.

This is an internal grant open only to current Vanderbilt graduate students.
