Deadline: 15 March 2024
Applications are now open for the Frédéric Bastiat Scholarship 2024/2025 . The Frédéric Bastiat Fellowship is a competitive one-year fellowship programme awarded to postgraduate students attending master's, doctorate in law and doctorate programmes in various fields, including economics, law, political science and public policy.
The purpose of this fellowship is to introduce students to the Austrian, Virginia, and Bloomington schools of political economy as academic foundations for contemporary policy analysis, policy-relevant academic research, and other applied topics. Fellows will explore how this framework is used for a variety of topics (including entrepreneurship, technological innovation, public health, regulation, immigration, natural disasters and military conflict, and federal and state fiscal policy) during a series of colloquia where they will interact with Mercatus Scholars working in policy analysis and policy-relevant academic research. Fellows will join a network of Mercatus students, alumni and academics who are conducting and engaged in cutting-edge research in contemporary political economy.
