The Institute of Governmental Studies will award three Synar Graduate Research Fellowships of $3,000 each. The Mike Synar Graduate Research Fellowship is awarded to distinguished UC Berkeley graduate students who are writing their dissertations on an aspect of American politics, which may include comparative research across nations with the United States as a major case.
To be eligible, graduate students must have advanced to candidacy. All award recipients will be invited to the award ceremony during the spring semester.
This grant is made possible by a generous donation from Bill and Patrice Brandt.
