Harvard University is awarding the Harvard University Academy Program to International students who wish to pursue a PhD at the university.
About The Scholarship:
Each year, four to six Academy Scholars are named for two-year in-residence, postdoctoral fellowship appointments at the Harvard Academy for International and Area Studies, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA.
They receive substantial financial and research assistance to undertake sustained projects of research and/or acquire accessory training in their chosen fields and areas. The Senior Scholars, a distinguished group of senior Harvard University faculty members, act as mentors to the Academy Scholars to help them achieve their intellectual potential.

Postdoctoral Academy Scholars will receive an annual stipend of $70,000. If selected before earning the PhD, the Scholars will receive an annual stipend of$31,000 until awarded the PhD. This stipend is supplemented by funding for conference and research travel, research assistants, and health insurance coverage. Some teaching is permitted but not required.
All parts of the application, including the three letters of recommendation, are submitted online as pdf documents. The online application is accessed through the homepage of The Harvard Academy’s website.
Regarding transcripts from foreign universities: our reviewers read many applications from those at foreign universities and request as much transcript-like official documentation as the Registrar at your university can provide, for all graduate work—both for the Master’s and PhD programs in which you have been or are currently enrolled. Your institution most likely gets these requests often and can provide the required paperwork to you upon request
Those still pursuing a PhD or equivalent degree, should have completed their routine training and field research, and be well along in the writing of their theses before applying to become Academy Scholars.
If you have completed a PhD program or equivalent degree, the PhD completion date must be within three years of our October 1 application deadline. For October 1, 2019 applicants, you must have completed your PhD after September 30, 2016.
Finalists must be available to travel for a personal interview on our December 4, 2019 interview date. The Harvard Academy will arrange and pay for travel and hotel accommodations for the finalists to interview in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.
