The Academy of Philosophy and Letters is pleased to announce the new Edmund Burke Fellowship for graduate students, advanced undergraduates of exceptional caliber, and young professionals. All students of the humanities, broadly conceived, are welcome to apply.

The Fellowship will be awarded to up to 30 students. It covers the full cost of attendance at our annual conference in College Park, MD (June 5-7, 2025). It also covers all meals, plus a two night stay at the onsite Marriott hotel. Recipients will be responsible only for the cost of travel to / from the conference.

Fellows will enjoy intellectual exchange with like-minded academics, policymakers, and teachers at panels, in discussions, and over meals. The two-and-a-half day conference also provides an opportunity to make the kinds of connections that may be especially useful to early-career academics.

In order to apply for the Fellowship, please email:

• Your resume or CV
• A one-paragraph statement of interest in the topics of the conference and APL’s mission.

to apl@philosophyandletters.org.

Applications will be distributed on a rolling basis, so interested students should apply as soon as possible.

UPDATE: Due to a strong response, all slots are now filled. We are unable to offer any more Fellowships for the 2025 year. We hope you will consider applying in future years.
