Graduate Student Travel Grants

Each year, the University Center for Human Values and Program in Political Philosophy offer political philosophy research and travel grants, created through an allocation of funds from an endowed account established by Amy Gutmann, former provost of the University and founding director of the University Center for Human Values.

Individual grants are awarded to graduate students specializing in political philosophy to be used in support of research and travel related to research. The terms of the endowment specify that the fund must be used to augment the resources that are otherwise available to political philosophy at Princeton from all sources. The intent is to increase the overall support provided by Princeton University for excellent scholarship and teaching in the field of political philosophy.
