Harvard University Find Yourself Here Travel Fellowship 2026: Eligibility, Benefits, Travel Support and September 21 Application Deadline

Overview

The Find Yourself Here Travel Fellowship is offered by the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) at Harvard University. It helps a limited number of prospective students and education professionals attend HGSE's fall 2026 events in Cambridge, Massachusetts: the Open House on 23 October 2026 and the Find Yourself Here event on 24 October 2026. The event is for people exploring where they fit within education and how they might contribute to the field, and attending gives a closer view of the HGSE community and graduate study options.

What you get

Selected fellows receive an airfare stipend and two nights at a local hotel. This is a travel fellowship that supports attendance at the October events. It is not a tuition award for an HGSE degree, and it is separate from degree admissions.

Who can apply

The fellowship may suit people interested in education leadership, teaching and learning, education policy, research, human development, educational innovation, learning design, community development, social impact, higher education and education technology. A long career in education is not required. Applications should connect the applicant's background, interests and educational ambitions to why attending HGSE would be meaningful. The fellowship is not presented as a grades-based academic scholarship, and financial circumstances are part of the application materials.

How to apply

Applicants complete an online application, submit a current resume or CV and provide financial information. Answers should be thoughtful and specific, and the financial details accurate.

Key dates

The application deadline is 21 September 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The HGSE Open House takes place on 23 October 2026, followed by Find Yourself Here on 24 October 2026.
