Funded Online Fellowship in Political Economy from George Mason University

George Mason University offers the Don Lavoie Fellowship to students in all disciplines who have an interest in studying the key ideas in political economy and learning how to utilize these ideas in academic and policy research. Don Lavoie Fellows attend a series of online activities led by various Hayek Program scholars that introduce them to key ideas in the Austrian, Virginia, and Bloomington schools of political economy. Fellows will join a network of Mercatus students, alumni, faculty, and scholars who are conducting and engaging with cutting edge research in contemporary political economy.
