Fox International Fellowship (ANU to Yale University)

The Fox International Fellowship is a graduate student exchange program between Yale University and other world-renowned partner universities including ANU. The program aims to identify and contribute to the education of outstanding students and identify 'citizen scholar ambassadors' who, by virtue of their academic and extracurricular record, can be expected in the future to participate in guiding the world toward a more peaceful order. A 'citizen scholar ambassador' is a student whose research furthers the goal of the fellowship to expand and sustain global civic discourse and who possesses both the ability to communicate with a wider audience and the potential to become a leader in or out of academia. The fellowship is awarded on account of both the research proposal and the personal leadership qualities of the candidate. The Fox Fellowship is a tremendous opportunity to engage in independent research at Yale University, audit classes, attend workshops, network with academics working in your field and join a vibrant Fox Fellowship alumni group. Each year one candidate from ANU is sent to reside at Yale for ten months, usually beginning in mid-August and ending at the end of May of the following year. Fox International Fellows undertake an independent research project in social sciences (including political science, sociology, anthropology, economics, psychology and geography) or humanities disciplines (including philosophy, history and law).
