Degree Requirements
Most successful applicants will hold a PhD or equivalent degree in a social science discipline or in history.

The Kellogg Institute welcomes applications from eminent scholars and practioners who do not hold a PhD.
Advanced ABD graduate students may apply, but awards are contingent on their having completed the PhD before beginning the The Kellogg Institute fellowship.?

Eligibility Considerations (for non-US citizens/residents)
The following should be considered when applying for The Kellogg Institute fellowship:

  • Advanced English language proficiency is required.
  • Foreign nationals must have a valid passport and be able to obtain a J-1 Visa.
  • Note: According to US immigration regulations, an individual who completes a period of stay of less than five years as a J-1 professor or research scholar and does not have another appointment immediately following the termination of said stay, cannot return to the US as a J-1 professor or research scholar until the individual has been outside the US for a minimum period of two years. This two-year bar is different from the two-year home residency requirement normally issued to J-1 scholars.
