The Council of American Overseas Research Centers (CAORC) Multi-Country Fellowship Program supports advanced regional or trans-regional research in the humanities, social sciences, or allied natural sciences for U.S. master's students, doctoral candidates, and scholars who have already earned their Ph.D. Preference will be given to candidates examining comparative and/or cross-regional research. Applicants are eligible to apply as individuals or in teams.

Scholars must carry out research in two or more countries outside the United States, at least one of which hosts a participating American overseas research center. Approximately ten awards of up to $12,000 each will be given in the doctoral candidate/post-doctoral scholar competition. Approximately four awards of up to $8,000 each will be given in the master's student competition.

The Ginsberg Student Fellowships provide University of Michigan students with the opportunity to make a significant contribution to the community in partnership with a community-based organization.  The Fellowships provide a stipend to students of up to $2000 (spring/summer or fall/winter fellowship).  To help defray the costs of the project, each fellow will also be eligible for up to $250 in program funds (not intended for travel expenses).

The Summer Graduate Research Fellowship is a non-residential research and writing program sponsored by the Institute for Humane Studies. It is open to advanced graduate students (doctoral or law), intending academic or research careers who are conducting research germane to the classical liberal intellectual tradition. The Fellowship provides an opportunity to work on a thesis chapter or a paper of publishable quality and to participate in interdisciplinary seminars under the guidance of a faculty supervisor.
The fellowship begins in June with a short conference at the Institute for Humane Studies in Arlington, Virginia, where Fellows have a chance to present the context of their work to other graduate students. After the first conference, Fellows will return to their home universities for the rest of the summer to continue independent research and writing on their own projects. In August, Summer Fellows return to IHS to participate in another conference, to present the results of their work over the summer, and to discuss issues of importance to young academics.
