Since 2008, the Wayne Morse Center for Law and Politics has supported the research and writing of more than forty UO graduate students doing work related to the Center’s mission of expanding knowledge about and understanding of significant public problems confronting Oregon, the nation, and/or the world. During academic year 2025-26, the Wayne Morse Center will support two to three Graduate Research Fellows with awards of $5000 each.
To be considered, applicants must be current University of Oregon students pursuing a master's degree or PhD, have obtained approval of their thesis or dissertation prospectus from their committee, and plan to remain enrolled at UO during the entire fellowship year. Graduate students from all disciplines, including the arts, are encouraged to apply.
Graduate students interested in conducting research on Senator Morse as part of the Wayne Morse Monograph series will also be considered. If you are interested in this option, please email Wayne Morse Center Co-Director Daniel Tichenor at tichenor@uoregon.edu for instructions.
The application deadline for the 2025-26 academic year was April 4, 2025.
We will post application information for academic year 2026-27 in late 2025 or winter term 2026.
