For the period 2026- 2027, we are offering one substantially funded KFV fellowship per year for early and mid-career women scholars conducting research on corporations and international law from the Global South. We particularly encourage applications from scholars from and working on, Latin America, Africa, East and South-East Asia, and the Pacific.
A limited number of Kathleen Fitzpatrick fellowships are also available to early-mid-career women researchers with their own institutional or external funding. In both cases, current PhD students are not generally eligible to apply.
PhD Students who wish to connect with the Program are encouraged to apply to the annual TALS Academy, with some scholarships available and designated as KF Scholarships.
Dates for 2026 will be posted here in 2025.
