Fellows also have access to other Stanford libraries. Eligibility Fellowships are available to Ph.D. candidates who have made substantial progress toward the completion of their dissertations, and to scholars with Ph.D. or equivalent degrees from the United States and abroad. The Center is also interested in applications from military officers or civilian members of the U.S. government, members of military or diplomatic services from other countries, and journalists interested in arms control and international security issues. Applications from women and minorities are encouraged. The applicant's graduate education and background determine the value of each fellowship award.
Some funds are also available for research-related expenses.
