Students
Supporting Harvard students with fellowships, grants, and research opportunities
Opportunities
During the academic year, we offer a variety of fellowships and grant opportunities to graduate and doctoral students across Harvard University. We also fund several summer fellowships that give students from the Graduate School of Design, the Harvard Kennedy School, and Harvard’s other graduate and professional schools the opportunity to work on housing-related issues with public and non-profit entities. We also offer an annual prize for the Best Paper on Housing, and funding for student-run conferences and events. For more information about our student fellowships & opportunities, contact [email protected].
Additionally, we often hire student research assistants. Please visit our Job Openings page to view any open student positions.
