Fellowships and Project Grants
Overview:
There are two Fellowship programs:
One for law students and one for graduate students writing a dissertation.
Wayne Morse Law Student Fellowships:
Wayne Morse Fellowships support law students who want to follow in the tradition of Senator Wayne Morse who was also dean of the University of Oregon School of Law. Fellowships are awarded on the basis of academic merit and demonstrated interest in the principles and issues that inspired Morse including public service, fair labor practices, representative government, and civil rights. Wayne Morse Fellows receive support toward their law school tuition and participate in the activities of the Wayne Morse Center. Activities include providing assistance to visiting scholars, event planning and support, research assistance, and being a Wayne Morse Center ambassador to law and non-law students and the broader community.
Wayne Morse Dissertation Fellowships:
Each year, the Wayne Morse Center for Law and Politics, with the support of the Graduate School, supports two graduate students while they conduct research and write dissertations related to the
Wayne Morse Center theme. Beginning in 2010, dissertations may also be related to the Politics and Policy Program. Each Wayne Morse Dissertation Fellow receives a stipend of $3,000 for one academic term, in addition to a tuition waiver.
Wayne Morse Project Grants:
The Wayne Morse Center awards project grants each year to support community organizations, university faculty and departments, and student organizations. Awards are given to projects that stimulate and support educational events related to the Center’s current or upcoming theme of inquiry. Past awards have provided funding for new courses, conferences, symposia, community events, student projects and youth education. The maximum award is $10,000 though most awards range from $2,000 to $6,000. Objective: The objective of the Project Grant program is to stimulate and support educational community and university events related to the Wayne Morse Center theme of inquiry.
