The APSA Diversity Fellowship Program (DFP) is a fellowship competition for individuals from underrepresented backgrounds applying to or in the early stages of doctoral programs in political science. The DFP was established in 1969 (originally as the Black Graduate Fellowship) to increase the number of minority scholars in the discipline. This year’s funded fellows will receive $5,000, over two years to support their studies.
The following students were named as the 2023-2024 APSA Diversity Fellowship Program recipients during the fall 2022 application cycle. These fellows are currently applying to PhD programs in political science. Complete bios for each fellow are available at the link below and will be featured in an upcoming edition of Political Science Today.
