Application Process

To be considered for a Carnegie PhD Scholarship, you need to be nominated by one of the 17 eligible host organizations. Since each institution has a limited quota of nominations, they each have their own selection process for candidates.

As a starting point, it is advisable to contact the Scottish institution where you plan to pursue your PhD to learn about their selection process for candidates. Subsequently, candidates and potential supervisors should begin preparing their applications for the internal competition in advance of the internal deadline. The previous year’s internal application and process may be used as a guide to anticipate what may be expected for the current year’s call, typically announced in November or December.

Following the nomination, applicants will receive access to the Carnegie Trust’s application portal to submit their final application, along with an endorsement from their prospective supervisor. Furthermore, the prospective supervisor must provide an institutional statement of support.

The deadline for internal applications is usually in January or early February of each year. Successful candidates and their potential supervisors will then collaborate to create the final full application to be submitted to The Carnegie Trust in late February for the commencement of studies in the following academic year.

2024 Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program Information

In June 2023, Carnegie Corporation of New York announced a second phase of the Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program and a new focus on political polarization in the United States

The Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program  was established in 2015 to provide philanthropic support for high-caliber research in the humanities and social sciences. During its first eight years, nearly 250 scholars received fellowships of $200,000 to explore a range of important and enduring issues confronting our society.

In June 2023, the Corporation announced a second phase of the program and a new focus on political polarization in the United States. The program asks scholars to help Americans understand how and why our society has become so polarized and what we can do to strengthen the forces of cohesion in our society. Political polarization is characterized by threats to free speech, the decline of civil discourse, disagreement over basic facts, and a lack of mutual understanding and collaboration. The next class of fellows will be announced in spring 2025.

Fellowships of $200,000 are awarded annually to about 30 exceptional scholars, authors, journalists, and public intellectuals. The funding is for a period of one or two years with the anticipated result of a book or major study. The criteria prioritize the originality and promise of the research, its potential impact on the field, and the scholar’s plans for communicating the findings to a broad audience. 

Instructions for nominators can be found here . 

ELIGIBILITY 

The Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program is open only to citizens or permanent residents of the United States who have been nominated by the head of an institution designated by Carnegie Corporation of New York. Candidates must have a Ph.D., hold a terminal degree, or be a high-level professional working outside of academia. Nominators include heads of independent research institutes and learned societies, university presidents, leaders of some of the nation’s preeminent think tanks, and directors of major publishers, as well as editors of leading newspapers and magazines. Individuals may not apply for the Fellows Program via self-nomination.

The Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program prohibits a fellowship winner from accepting a fellowship of equal caliber or at a comparable level of funding that overlaps the same timeline as the Carnegie fellowship, especially awards that have specific time requirements. However, smaller grants and project support are acceptable on a case-by-case basis. 

Nominations are evaluated by the jury based on the following criteria:  • Originality and promise of the idea  • Quality of the proposal  • Promise to offer solutions to harmful polarization or to enhance social cohesion  • Record of the nominee  • Plans to communicate findings to a broad audience

The Corporation anticipates that the work of the Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program will explore the many ways political polarization in the United States manifests itself in society and suggest ways that it may be mitigated. Studies of polarization in other countries will be welcomed providing they offer lessons that can be applied to the United States. Projects based in disciplines across the humanities and social sciences are welcomed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Am I eligible for the Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program? To be eligible, you must be a U.S. citizen or have permanent U.S. residency status. You must also be nominated by one of a designated group of individuals, who include leaders of universities, think tanks, and publishers. (Please write to [email protected] to find out if your institution is on our nomination list.)

How many scholars may each nominator put forward for consideration? University presidents may nominate one junior and one senior scholar, where a senior scholar is defined as any holder of a tenured post. (You may not nominate two junior or two senior scholars.) Other nominators — e.g., the head of a university press, learned society, think tank, publisher, or newspaper — may nominate one candidate.

May nominators nominate individuals without a PhD? Are nominees who hold degrees traditionally regarded as terminal in their fields (e.g., JD, MD, or MFA) eligible? We welcome candidates holding a terminal degree other than a PhD. We also welcome candidates with exceptional experience that qualifies them as a senior professional or intellectual.

May my university charge overhead or other administrative costs for the fellowship? No indirect/overhead costs will be allowed or paid to the university. Fellows shall receive the entire grant for support of the research project.

May we submit a nomination that involves researchers from multiple institutions or universities? Yes. However, one nominee will need to be the lead applicant and receive and administer the fellowship. Other contributors may be brought in as partners or consultants.

When must the fellowship begin? Is it possible to defer the start for a year? The fellowship must begin on the first of the month between June and September of 2025. It is not possible to defer the start of the fellowship. It must begin no later than September 1, 2025.

What is the duration of a fellowship? Recipients have the choice of a 12-month or a 24-month fellowship.

Is the fellowship subject to income taxes? Yes. The fellow may choose to receive the funding in one of two ways:

• As an individual: if you choose to receive the fellowship as an individual, you will receive a 1099 form from Carnegie Corporation of New York at the end of the tax year.
• Through your institution: if you choose to have your institution receive the fellowship funds as a “payor,” your institution will assume all tax reporting responsibilities.

Can Carnegie Corporation of New York provide advice about taxes? No, Carnegie Corporation of New York cannot provide tax advice. The fellow will need to consult a financial adviser. The fellow may allocate a portion of the fellowship to cover the cost of a tax consultation.

Will the university continue to provide benefits during the period of the fellowship? In nominating a scholar for this fellowship, a university is indicating its continuing support for that scholar and the administration’s intention to provide in-kind support such as full retirement and health benefits when the scholar takes time off to work on research and writing.

Am I required to discontinue teaching for the duration of the fellowship? You may choose to receive the award over a one- or two-year period. During the selected period, you may opt to go on sabbatical for the entire fellowship or a portion of it. You may also choose to teach classes part-time and/or to work on the project over the summer. On the application, please specify the time you will allot to working on the project. This will allow our jurors to determine whether it is feasible for you to accomplish your goals..

When and how will nominees be informed of the results of the selection process? Selected nominees will be notified by email shortly after the jury makes its final selections in late March 2025. If your nomination is unsuccessful, you will receive an email notification in April 2025.

Does Carnegie Corporation of New York provide feedback on nominations that are not selected? Due to the large number of nominations that we receive, unfortunately we are not able to respond to requests for feedback.

If I have been nominated for the Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program in the past, may I be nominated again? Candidates who have been nominated for the Fellows Program since the change of focus to polarization (i.e. who were nominated for the 2024 Fellowships) may not be nominated again during the current three-year period.

If two candidates for the fellowship have already been selected by my university may I be nominated by another institution, e.g. a thinktank? Yes. However, you must have an established relationship with the institution and that institution must also be on our nomination list. Please contact [email protected] for eligibility advice.

The Carnegie Trust - Postgraduate

Queen Margaret University has the opportunity to nominate two individuals for the prestigious Carnegie Trust PhD scholarship scheme for study commencing in September 2023. The prospective candidates must hold, or expect to gain, a first class Honours undergraduate degree from a Scottish University and wish to complete the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programme at Queen Margaret University.

The Carnegie Trust makes no restriction on the subject or field. However, in order to be supported by QMU, the PhD topic must be in an area that is aligned with one of the University’s Research Centres .

Overview on the scholarship

A First-Class Honours degree from a Scottish university is a pre-requisite for consideration for Scholarships. Alongside existing graduates, final year undergraduate students expecting to achieve a First-Class Honours degree are also eligible for nomination. The First-Class Honours degree must be in a subject related to the proposed doctoral studies.

A candidate who has already commenced study on the PhD Programme is not eligible.

The candidate must be nominated by the prospective supervisor of the PhD project and can only be nominated for a Carnegie or Caledonian PhD Scholarship by one university.

The number of nominations per Scottish university is subject to a quota (announced annually by the Carnegie Trust). QMU has been granted two nominations for applications by students starting in September 2018. QMU will manage the selection process and will provide a statement of institutional support to two candidates only.

What's Included in the Scholarship

The stipend value for academic year 2022-23 was £17,904, and the value normally rises in line with awards funded by Research Councils. Payment of the Scholarship stipends will be made monthly, in advance, and will normally start on 1 st October in each year.

The Trust will support the Scholars with expenses incurred in connection with their study or research up to £3,000 during the tenure of the PhD Scholarship. Scholars can apply for this funding using the Carnegie Trust’s research allowance form, which will be emailed to them in advance.

How to Apply

Applicants should download the PhD Scholarship Nomination Form and complete Part 1 of the form, relating to academic achievements to date and the project he or she proposes to undertake. The Guide to the Trust’s online application portal provides clarification on how best to approach each section of the form.

Ethics and Technology

Postdoctoral fellowships.

Apple University, in a joint program with Stanford University’s McCoy Family Center for Ethics in Society, hosts postdoctoral fellows whose research focuses on issues at the intersection of ethics and technology.

Abby Jaques

Abby is focused on the big questions at the intersection of human and artificial intelligence: What does it take to get tech right? And how do we make sure the technologies we build are good for everyone?

At MIT, Abby developed a new theory of the nature of intentional action. Now she is focused on how artificial intelligence can affect human behavior and its potential moral and political impacts. She has also developed a new, practice-based method of ethics for engineers, and she contributed to a series of grant-funded efforts aimed at democratizing AI through formal and informal education.

Hardware Technologies, Integrated Circuit Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning

Phd fellowships.

Awarded to emerging leaders pursuing research in areas related to electrical engineering, computer engineering, and computer science with a focus on cutting-edge technology and Apple core values.

McKenzie van der Hagen

McKenzie is working on novel computer architectures that would allow low-power IoT devices to participate in encrypted computing at the edge.

An enormous amount of data is collected and processed at every moment through Internet of Things (IoT) devices. It takes a lot of power to protect the privacy of everyone using connected technology. One way to address privacy in the world of IoT is through homomorphic encryption techniques, which enable computation directly on encrypted data. But that takes complex mathematics and huge data structures. McKenzie’s work aims to develop specialized computer architectures to support these massive operations within the modest constraints of low-power IoT devices. Ultimately she hopes to take the concept of encrypted computing from optimistic theory to practical reality through hardware support.

Jaya Narain

Jaya is using personalized machine learning and naturalistic data to help children with nonverbal autism spectrum disorder (ASD) communicate with the world around them.

Of the 3.5 million people in the United States who have ASD, about 30 percent are nonverbal. But that doesn’t mean they don’t communicate. Parents and caregivers can often interpret vocalizations, gestures, and differences in tone that may be missed by others. Jaya is using the knowledge that primary caregivers have to train machine learning models to help interpret nonverbal cues. She hopes that her research can have a profound impact on how children with nonverbal autism navigate their space and communicate with new people.

Ishwarya Ananthabhotla

Yahav bechavod, graham gobieski, mitchell gordon, jeong joon park, nathan serafin, yiren “aaron” zhao, tijana zrnic, hardware technologies and integrated circuit engineering, masters scholarships.

Awarded to outstanding students completing their masters degrees in advanced hardware technologies and specializing in computer architecture, system on chip design, verification, and validation.

Anna began her academic journey at Carnegie Mellon doing what all of her peers were doing: pursuing software. However, she soon found herself far more invested in the hardware beneath.

Anna’s interest shifted from software to hardware during her first hardware course, Structure and Design of Digital Systems. She found that even though hardware description was entirely different from programming, she was still able to use her strengths: logic, problem-solving, and developing algorithms. Now she is doing what she feels she was meant to do — working at the intersection of hardware and software.

Siddiqui receives Udall Scholarship

by Monica Cooney

The award recognizes future leaders in environmental, Tribal public policy, and health care fields. Siddiqui is Carnegie Mellon’s first recipient since 2009.

• Sustaining an interest in global goals

Aleena Siddiqui, a rising junior with a double major in materials science and engineering and  environmental and sustainability studies , has received the 2024 Udall Scholar award , which recognizes future leaders in environmental, Tribal public policy, and health care fields.

The prestigious award, which is conferred by the Udall Foundation, honors the legacies of Morris K. Udall and Stewart L. Udall, whose careers had a significant impact on Native American self-governance, health care, and the stewardship of public lands and natural resources. Siddiqui is Carnegie Mellon University’s first Udall Scholar since 2009.

“I’m honored and thankful to have received this scholarship,” says Siddiqui. “It’s a very tangible culmination of my experiences at CMU that have supplemented my education in the classroom.”

Siddiqui is passionate about the research and development of ethical material manufacturing to create infrastructure that can have a positive impact on our environments.

I found engineering to be a field where I could create solutions that are rooted in sustainable practices to address issues of environmental injustice. Aleena Siddiqui , Undergraduate student , Materials Science & Engineering

“I found engineering to be a field where I could create solutions that are rooted in sustainable practices to address issues of environmental injustice that disproportionately affect marginalized communities,” Siddiqui says. “I decided to add an additional major of environmental and sustainability studies to center my education around doing ethically responsible work for the people and the planet.”

Her experiences outside of the classroom have played a pivotal role in enabling Siddiqui to better understand the broader implications of the work of a materials scientist and engineer.

As an intern for CMU’s Sustainability Initiative , she focuses on finding meaningful ways to engage with the campus community and share resources that allow others to think critically about how their work connects to broader sustainability efforts. She is also involved with CMU’s Green Practices efforts including a campus-wide compost education program.

Aleena Siddiqui has worked as an intern for the CMU Sustainability Initiative over the past two years.

“Sustainability is more than the environment. It has economic and social implications, and understanding how these facets intersect is crucial to doing meaningful work in any field.”

Encouraged by staff from the Office of Undergraduate Research and Scholar Development, Siddiqui was motivated to apply for the scholarship because she knew the award could enhance her educational experience.

“I was deeply impressed by Aleena’s involvement with CMU’s Sustainability Initiative and knew she would be a great fit for this award based on her leadership skills and commitment to pursuing environmental work,” said Richelle Bernazzoli, director of the Office of Undergraduate Research and Scholar Development at Carnegie Mellon.

The support of the scholarship will have an immediate impact, as Siddiqui plans to use the funds toward a studying abroad program this summer in Costa Rica, where she is taking a class focused on sustainable agriculture.

“I’m excited to take this class and engage in meaningful conversations with locals in a country that is a forerunner in sustainability.”

Later this summer, she will have the opportunity to meet fellow recipients of the Udall Scholar Award.

2025 Research Designations

• Research Designations

The 2025 Carnegie Classifications will include research designations as separate listings from the Basic Classification. There will be three research groupings, all of which will be set by a threshold. Thresholds may be changed in future years; updated methodology will be shared ahead of each classification release.

In 2025, the Carnegie Classifications will use the higher of either a three-year average (2021, 2022, 2023) or most recent single year data (2023). In future releases, the classifications will use only a three-year average. Spending data will be taken from the Higher Education Research and Development (HERD) Survey for FY2021, FY2022, and FY2023. Doctorate production will be taken from data reported to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) for academic years 2020-21, 2021-22, and 2022-23. Research doctorates include all degrees reported as a Doctor’s Degree – Research/Scholarship in IPEDS, following the  IPEDS definition .

These changes are part of a series of updates for the Carnegie Classifications. For more information about the changes, please see the press release and the FAQ .

Research 1: Very High Spending and Doctorate Production

On average in a single year, these institutions spend at least $50 million on research & development and produce at least 70 research doctorates.

Research 2: High Spending and Doctorate Production

On average in a single year, these institutions spend at least $5 million on research & development and produce at least 20 research doctorates.

Research Colleges and Universities

On average in a single year, these institutions spend at least $2.5 million on research & development. Institutions that are in the R1 or R2 categories are not included.

Vacation Scholarships

©Kallum Corke

Vacation Scholarships enable undergraduate students to develop their research skills through a summer project

The Carnegie Vacation Scholarships aim to encourage undergraduates to develop their independent research skills. The Scheme is open to students enrolled on an undergraduate degree course at an eligible Scottish institution. Awards enable them to learn how to design and manage a research project and prepare for postgraduate study. Students often see their research results published in academic journals or reported in conference presentations. Each year, the Trust organises a poster competition for Vacation Scholarship recipients to allow them to meet and network with each other.

Applicant eligibility

You are eligible to apply for this Scholarship scheme if you:

• universities: Aberdeen, Abertay, Dundee, Edinburgh, Edinburgh Napier, Glasgow, Glasgow Caledonian, Heriot-Watt, Highlands and Islands, Queen Margaret, Robert Gordon, St Andrews, Stirling, Strathclyde, West of Scotland;
• Glasgow School of Art
• Royal Conservatoire of Scotland;
• are enrolled at that institution for the full length of your degree, or transferred to that HEI after an HNC/HND from a Scottish college;
• are in the 3rd year of a 4 year degree, OR in the 3rd or 4th year of a 5 year degree (part-time students must be at an equivalent stage), OR in the 2nd year of a 3 year degree (for example Nursing, BA Acting/Ballet etc.)
• are entitled to live and work in the UK. Students with Limited Leave to Remain, Pre-settled or Settled Status, or students on a Tier 4 Visa, must be able to prove that they are eligible to work full-time in the UK in the period between May and August 2024.
• are on track to achieve a 2:1 (or higher) degree classification;
• have never held a Carnegie Vacation Scholarship.

Who can’t apply

You are not eligible for this award if:

• you are only studying for part of your degree in Scotland. For example, if you are an exchange student studying in Scotland.
• you are on course to graduate in summer 2024
• you have held a Carnegie Vacation Scholarship in the past
• your migration status does not entitle you to work in the UK.

Note: If you are unsure about your eligibility, contact the Trust .

Project suitability

• Your project must be a minimum of 2 weeks and a maximum of 12 weeks in duration.
• The project must address a clearly specified research question or hypothesis and will engage you in full-time personal research .
• The project should give you sufficient scope to develop your ideas, use your initiative and build your research and analytical skills.
• The project can be undertaken either at your home university or anywhere else in the world, provided the host organisation has suitable facilities and appropriate supervision is in place both at your home university and where the research is to be conducted. The supervisor at your host organisation must also be an established researcher or academic.
• You must write your own project proposal and will be disqualified if the application and/or case for support appear to have been written by your supervisor or any other person.

Activities that are not eligible:

• The scholarships can’t be used for language study or for participating in summer schools, or group expeditions.
• Projects that consist solely of a literature review.
• The Scheme does not support work placements or volunteering activities.
• The project cannot form part of your assessed course work : e.g. it cannot be on the same topic as your final year dissertation, although it could address a sub-set of issues or questions that could be expanded into a thesis.
• It cannot be the continuation of an existing project or study.

Project supervisor

• The project must be supervised by an academic member of staff at your university. The supervisor can be a (senior) lecturer, reader or professor but not a graduate teaching assistant and/or an hourly paid tutor. Additional supervision can be provided by post-docs or PhD students.
• Supervisors may only nominate one student each year.
• Supervisors will be asked in the application form to confirm their own availability and willingness to supervise your progress during the period of award.
• It is the supervisor’s responsibility to ensure that the project is completed within the agreed timescale.
• The project supervisor is also expected to liaise with their department to ensure that processes are put in place for the timely distribution of the stipend to the student.
• The supervisor must ensure that: you receive adequate training, all statutory requirements are met (including ethics committee approval, animal licenses and requirements of regulatory authorities where applicable), and the relevant health and safety policies are followed.
• If the project is to be conducted at a different organisation than your own university, the supervisor at the student’s home institution must ensure that a suitably qualified supervisor is available to supervise you, and that health & safety and any other statutory requirements are met by your host.

What does the Trust look for in applications

When selecting applications, the reviewers and the Trust’s Selection Committee will look at evidence of the following:

University of Warwick

Find out more about our Philosophy and Literature PhD.

The Philosophy and Literature PhD is a leading programme, suiting students who thrive on independent, interdisciplinary study. You will undertake a substantial research project as part of an active research community, supervised by experts. Study Philosophy with English or Modern Languages.

Course overview

The Warwick PhD in Philosophy and Literature is aimed at outstanding students who wish to pursue advanced research and prepare to become professional researchers in, and/or teachers of, philosophy.

The Philosophy and Literature degree is for candidates whose research projects combine philosophical and literary concerns. The combination can be achieved in a number of ways, as aspects of literature can be treated as topics of philosophical inquiry, or a more combined and interdisciplinary approach can be taken.

While many UK philosophy departments possess strength in analytic philosophy or continental philosophy, we are distinctive in having world-leading philosophers from both fields. We also collaborate extensively with academics and practitioners in other subjects including English and other modern European languages.

Teaching and learning

In addition to regular supervisions, in the first year you will also take our core PhD seminar, which engages you with a broad range of philosophical issues beyond your thesis topic that are central to different philosophical traditions. You will have the opportunity to undertake a range of professional development activities to support your research, your thesis writing, and to provide teacher training.   Additionally, you are expected to attend any relevant postgraduate seminars, including modules on our taught MA programmes.
