William T. Grant Scholars Program

The William T. Grant Scholars Program supports promising early-career researchers (earned doctorate or completed postdoctoral studies 2004 or after) from diverse disciplines, who have demonstrated success in conducting high-quality research and are seeking to further develop and broaden their expertise.

Candidates are nominated by a supporting institution and must submit five-year research plans that demonstrate creativity, intellectual rigor, and a commitment to continued professional development. Every year, four to six William T. Grant Scholars are selected and each receives $350,000 distributed over a five-year period. Learn more...
