Dearborn Fellowship, a $10,000 doctoral-level fellowship to Consortium students, honoring the late Philip Dearborn, a leading national authority on urban finance, intergovernmental finance, and regional economic development. This fellowship is offered annually for proposed doctoral-level research dealing with issues of direct and specific relevance to the Greater Washington Metropolitan Area, including, without limitation, issues of economics, public and private finance, education, transportation, law enforcement, social welfare, housing, and regional and community development. It is expected that the research will rely to a significant extent on information and data derived from or relating to the Washington, DC metropolitan area. For more information including applications procedures, download the PDF version of the brochure.
