-- OBJECTIVES: The purpose of the Academy Scholars Program is to identify and support outstanding scholars who are at the start of their careers and whose work combines disciplinary excellence in the social sciences (including history and law) with an in-depth grounding in particular non-Western countries or regions, including domestic, comparative, or transnational issues.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Some teaching is permitted but not required.  The Senior Scholars, a distinguished group of senior Harvard faculty members, act as mentors to the Academy Scholars to help them achieve their intellectual potential.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-- ELIGIBILITY: The competition for these awards is open only to recent Ph.D. (or comparable professional school degree) recipients and doctoral candidates.  Candidates for advanced degrees must have completed all course work and general examinations by the time of application as well as reached the final stages of the dissertation research and writing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-- FUNDING: Predoctoral students will be provided with an annual stipend of $28,000; postdoctoral recipients will be provided with a stipend of $46,000.  The stipend is supplemented by funding for conference and research travel, and some health insurance coverage.  Four to six Academy Scholars are named for two-year appointments.  Scholars are expected to reside in the Cambridge/Boston area for the duration of their appointments unless traveling for approved research purposes.&lt;/div&gt;</description>
