Description
The PEPG Master’s Fellowships provide two-year partial-tuition support through the Program on Education Policy and Governance at Harvard Kennedy School. The fellowships support students pursuing the Master of Public Policy at HKS or an equivalent master’s program at Harvard University, with a focus on education reform, governance, policy, and entrepreneurship.
The program seeks applicants with a strong interest in these areas, particularly education policy and education entrepreneurship. Applicants explain how those interests connect to their personal goals and past experiences. PEPG’s broader mission includes training scholars, fostering a community of reform-minded researchers, and producing studies that provide a scientific basis for school reform policy.
