$35,000 Plus Tuition Harvard Knox Fellowship

Harvard University's Frank Knox Memorial Fellowships, set up in 1945 by Annie Reid Knox, pay for graduate study at Harvard for students from the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Fellows get full tuition, health insurance and a living stipend, and selection looks for future leadership, strength of character and devotion to the democratic ideal. You must also apply for, and win, a place on a full-time Harvard graduate or professional degree.

What you get:

• Full Harvard tuition and the mandatory health insurance fee
• A stipend of at least $35,000 a year, meant to cover a single student's living costs for the 10-month academic year
• Funding guaranteed for two years on a multi-year degree, if you stay in good academic standing; one year on a one-year degree
• A chance to apply for further support from the third year, considered case by case
• A network of Knox Fellows across the university

What you'll do:

• Study full time, in residence in Cambridge or Boston, on a Harvard graduate or professional degree
• Live in the Cambridge or Boston area for the whole academic year during the first two years

Key dates:

• Knox applications close 1 February 2027 at 11:59pm EST, for all four countries
