The Frédéric Bastiat Fellowship is a competitive one-year program designed for graduate students pursuing master’s, juris doctoral, and doctoral degrees in fields such as economics, law, political science, and public policy.
The primary goal of this fellowship is to familiarize students with the Austrian, Virginia, and Bloomington schools of political economy as fundamental academic underpinnings for modern policy analysis, policy-oriented academic research, and other practical topics.

Participants will also become part of a network comprising Mercatus students, alumni, and scholars actively involved in leading-edge research within contemporary political economy.
