> Each award is for up to $25,000 in maintenance grants and up to $20,000 in tuition support for each year of graduate study supported, a total of as much as $90,000.

> Not yet 31 years old, as of the application deadline.
> A college senior or holder of a bachelor’s degree.
> Not beyond your second year – if already enrolled -- in the graduate degree program for which you request support.
> Selection criteria emphasize creativity, originality, initiative, and sustained accomplishment.  
> The program values a commitment to the constitution and the bill of rights.
> The program promotes a strong sense of community among fellows and alumni through fall conferences for fellows and numerous events for fellows and alumni held throughout the country.
> The top 77 applicants will be designated “finalists” and will be asked to appear for interviews in New York City or Los Angeles in late-January of 2012. Reasonable expenses will be covered by the Fellowship Program.
