APSA congratulates this year’s political science scholars elected to the 2025 Class of the Andrew Carnegie Fellowship program! The Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program provides philanthropic support for high-caliber scholarship in the humanities and social sciences that addresses pressing societal challenges. Under the leadership of Carnegie Corporation of New York president Dame Louise Richardson, the 2025 class marks the second year of the program’s renewed emphasis on political polarization—an issue of growing national concern.

Over a three-year period, the Corporation will invest up to $18 million to support research that strengthens democracy and civic life. Each fellowship supports up to two years of work, with an anticipated outcome of a book or major study aimed at reaching broad audiences.
