Scholars and Fellows

Each year The Pearson Institute selects a new cohort of Pearson Fellows and Scholars, highly accomplished students who have demonstrated leadership, academic aptitude, and dedication to global conflict resolution. The Pearson Fellows program supports students enrolled in the Master of Public Policy program, while The Pearson Scholars program supports PhD students with conflict-focused research agendas at the Harris School of Public Policy.
