Description

Two applications are required: HKS master’s admission by noon Eastern Time on 1 December 2026, then fellowship funding through the financial aid application by 15 January 2027. The admission date is retained as this listing’s deadline because it is a prerequisite. Prepare the admission and funding steps as a connected sequence rather than a single submission. The leadership account should explain work benefiting marginalised populations. The later scholarship deadline does not extend the earlier master’s admission deadline, which remains the immediate requirement for this route. Eligibility: HKS master’s applicants with leadership experience supporting marginalised populations; open to all backgrounds. Funding: Financial assistance for HKS studies, leadership programming and mentoring; amount subject to allocation. Application: Submit the HKS master’s admission application first, by noon ET on 1 December. Then request the fellowship through financial aid by 15 January 2027. Schedule: Required admission application: 1 December 2026, noon ET. Fellowship application: 15 January 2027.
