William T. Grant Scholars Program
A five-year award for early-career researchers built around a deliberate professional stretch: the plan must take you somewhere methodologically or substantively you cannot currently go.
- Indicative award
- $350k (total award)A fixed award across five years, with mentoring built into the programme rather than bought with it.
- Timing
- Annual cycleAnnual cycle · JulNo specific published date recorded. This funder publishes a cycle rather than a date, and this database does not invent one.One annual deadline; there is no second chance within a cycle.
- Who can apply
- Early-career faculty
- Eligibility
- A hard cap on years since the doctorate at application, plus institutional nomination. Miss the window and there is no appeal.
