Fellowships

About the fellowship

The Robert L. Heilbroner Center for Capitalism Studies invites master’s and doctoral students from any discipline at The New School to apply for fellowships supporting thesis and dissertation writing. Each fellowship provides $3,000 to support research and writing on projects that engage capitalism as an analytic concept and/or as an object of social, political, or historical inquiry and critique.

We welcome projects that address real-world problems, advance original theoretical contributions, or develop long-term and global perspectives on capitalism as a major structuring force in society.

What Fellows Do

During the fellowship period, fellows remain in residence and participate in the intellectual life of the Center. This includes taking part in the monthly Fellows’ workshop, where students share work in progress and engage with faculty and peers.

How to Apply 

Fellowships for the 2026-27 academic year have been awarded. Come back in the Spring for more information about next year’s fellowships.
