The Hertog Foundation is now accepting applications for its 2025 fellowships and seminars. We offer residential summer programs in Washington, DC as well as virtual courses during the academic year. Whether in-person or online, our fellows study in an intensive seminar setting with outstanding faculty and engaged peers.

• Study the theory and practice of politics with our six-week Political Studies Program.

• Learn to assess military decision-making with our War Studies Program.

• Study the most difficult U.S. national security challenges with the Security Studies Program.

• Examine constitutional law and controversies with our Constitutional Studies Program. 

• Can’t make it to DC this summer? Join us for an online seminar devoted to great books and big ideas with Humanities at Hertog.

All of our fellowships are fully funded and include course materials. Residential programs include housing and a stipend to offset fellows' travel costs. Click here to get a quick overview of the programs and application process.
