The fellowship is offered to those candidates who are successfully admitted to the School’s doctoral program to pursue advanced education and research in higher education policy and is awarded for a period of 48 months in total. The Fellowship covers the full cost of tuition, and it includes a monthly stipend to assist with housing and living costs. More information can be found under CEU Doctoral Scholarships.

The university’s Yehuda Elkana Center for Teaching, Learning, and Higher Education Research supports the work of the doctoral fellows by organizing academic events, inviting guest speakers, providing additional opportunities for professional networking, and offering help with the academic publication process.

The Fellowship is named after Yehuda Elkana, the third President and Rector of Central European University (1999-2009), a renowned international scholar, public intellectual, and educator with a deep commitment to open society.
