Master's Fellowship in National Security

The Clements Center for National Security and the Intelligence Studies Project at the University of Texas at Austin seek masters students for a new fellowship for the 2026-2027 academic year. Students who want to pursue careers relevant to national/international security after graduation are encourage to apply. This fellowship is not designed for students who want to continue in academia by pursuing a PhD or other professional degree after finishing their masters degree.

Applicants must:

- Be enrolled as a masters student at the University of Texas at Austin (any degree program)

- Be in good standing and have a 3.5 GPA

- Be available to attend meetings throughout the fall and spring semesters. These possible seminars meetings and workshops will not confer any academic credit. To avoid conflicts with classes these will often be held in the mornings at lunch hours or in the the case of longer meetings there may be events on weekends. Students who know they cannot attend the required programming should not apply.

The fellowship is for the 2026-2027 academic year. No required meetings will be held in Austin during the summer semester but accepted students are encouraged to apply for funding to attend language intensive-study or other approved programs at UT or other higher education institutions.

Applications will be accepted until October 1 2026. We may open a second round of applications in January 2027 but that is not guaranteed.

Please use your official UT email address to apply. No official correspondence will be sent to a personal email address.

• Any UT masters student
• Must have over a 3.5 grade point average
