Each fall, the APSA Diversity Fellowship Program (DFP) awards between 12 and 14 funded fellowships of $5,000 over two years to undergraduate seniors, graduates, or students enrolled in a master’s program who plan to apply for a PhD in political science. Each spring, the program offers fellowships to graduate students in the pre-dissertation stage of their doctoral program. The Spring DFP is a one-time award of $2000, depending on funding availability. All applicants must be engaged in or planning to pursue political science research and scholarship primarily focused on race, ethnicity, gender, systemic racism, LGBTQ politics, disability politics, indigenous politics, or tribal sovereignty and governance.
