Carnegie Scholars Program The Carnegie Scholars Program is a fellowship initiative supporting research and scholarship associated with the Carnegie philanthropic legacy. The program connects scholars with institutions, funding, and networks across foundations and universities to advance studies in policy, culture, and public life. Its activities intersect with major civic organizations, research centers, and higher education institutions.

Overview

The program provides fellowships at centers such as Carnegie Corporation of New York, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Carnegie Mellon University, Carnegie Institution for Science, and partner institutions like Harvard University, Columbia University, University of Chicago, Stanford University, and Princeton University. Fellows work on projects engaging stakeholders including Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, MacArthur Foundation, and think tanks such as Brookings Institution, Council on Foreign Relations, RAND Corporation, Center for Strategic and International Studies, and American Enterprise Institute. The program fosters exchanges with museums and archives like Library of Congress, Smithsonian Institution, British Library, New York Public Library, and universities including Yale University, Oxford University, Cambridge University, University of Pennsylvania, and Johns Hopkins University.
