The Radcliffe Fellowship

The Radcliffe Fellowship supports engaged scholarship, where fellows develop new tools and methods, challenge artistic and scholarly conventions, and illuminate our past and our present. They welcome applications from scholars and artists proposing innovative work that confronts pressing social and policy issues and seeking to engage audiences beyond academia.

Throughout the year, fellows convene regularly to share their work in progress, supporting one another in various intellectual groups and building connections through social events. They benefit from access to Harvard’s libraries and archives, to professional development opportunities. The Fellowship offers a $78,000 stipend — intended as salary or financial support while in residence, plus a $5,000 project allowance — to cover research, materials, or other creative costs.
