Early-career faculty within seven years of receiving their doctorate are eligible to apply for the annual William T. Grant Scholars Program. The Mary Frances Early College of Education can allow one nominee to go forward to complete a proposal for submission. This is notice of the internal competition to choose the nominee for the 2025 funding cycle.

The Foundation selects 4-6 scholars each year who are each awarded exactly $425,000, distributed over five years. Awards begin July 1 and are made to the applicant’s institution. If you are interested in applying for this program, please read the materials on the Scholars program website and review the Scholars program application guide for important details to guide you in your decision to apply.

The Foundation’s mission is to support research to improve the lives of young people ages 5-25 in the United States. Scholar applicants must select one of the two focus areas the William T. Grant Foundation has identified for funding priority to situate their project:

• Reducing inequality
• Improving the use of research evidence
