Visiting scholars will confer with a faculty host, who will arrange for interactions with others on campus.

The application deadline is 11:59 p.m. Central on Friday. April 3, 2026 

Eligibility: Applicants must be PhD-holding, U.S.-based poverty scholars at any career level who are from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
