Grants and Fellowships

Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI) Graduate Fellowships

In order to qualify for ISI graduate fellowships, applicants must engage in graduate studies for the purpose of teaching at the college level. Those attending pre-professional (medical, law) schools are ineligible. Applicants must be U.S. citizens and college seniors or graduate students who are familiar with ISI's purposes and programs and who receive The Intercollegiate Review. Applicants may apply for more than one fellowship, but an applicant may receive only one ISI fellowship during his academic career.

ISI sponsors several fellowships:

The ISI Richard M. Weaver Fellowship pays tuition at the school attended by the recipient and a stipend of $5,000. More than 400 Weaver graduate fellowships have been granted since the program's inception in 1964.

The ISI Western Civilization Fellowship awards each recipient $20,000 for graduate work related to Western Civilization studies. Three of these graduate fellowships are awarded annually.

The ISI Salvatori Fellowship provides $10,000 to each awardee for graduate work related to the American Founding. Two of these graduate fellowships are awarded annually.

The ISI Bache Renshaw Fellowship provides full tuition and a living stipend of $12,000 for doctoral study in education at the University of Virginia Curry School of Education. One or two fellowships will be awarded annually.

In addition to the above fellowships for graduate students, ISI awards an undergraduate fellowship each year. Graduating college seniors interested in the William E. Simon Fellowship for Noble Purpose are invited to apply. Application guidelines for the Simon Fellowship are distinct from those requirements listed below for the graduate fellowships.
