Personal statement:


The following requirements are needed to receive full consideration for the Summer Fellowship program:

1. Completed application form. After you submit your application form, make sure to keep us informed of any changes in your contact information.

2. Vita / Resume. Include your education history. Detail any experience you have had in business, the armed forces, teaching, and research. List and describe any honors, awards, or financial assistance you received. List and describe any relevant leadership positions you have held.

3. Personal statement. Explain what books (or articles) have influenced your thinking and why. (The books need not be about economics). Please do not exceed three double-spaced typewritten pages (approximately 1,100 words).

4. Writing sample. Recent term paper or some other example of your best English composition. An economic topic is useful but not required. Applicants who have advanced degrees must send a copy of their thesis, which will be returned upon request.

5. Outline of proposed course of study. Include when and where you plan to attend graduate school and your preliminary field(s) of interest. If some details are not yet decided, so indicate. Indicate what you plan to do when your formal education is complete.

6. Official transcripts. Send official transcript(s) of all college work.

7. Scholastic references. Arrange to have two scholastic references mailed directly to the Director of the Summer Fellowship program by the referees. Letters of recommendation mailed by the applicants themselves will not be accepted. References should give the writer's opinion of your aptitude for learning and research, emotional and intellectual maturity, potential for communicating and disseminating economic knowledge and such other information as the writer is in a position to provide.

 

Special Note for Foreign Students

Although it is not a prerequisite for our Summer Fellowship program, we have found that few foreign students are able to participate unless they already have been accepted and enrolled in a graduate program at a university in the United States. Not only are we unable to assist in transportation costs, but also, because we are a small organization, we can not assist with visas, insurance, or any other technicalities necessary for you to come here.
