Loeb Fellowship-Applications are due in early January.

From the website

Program Overview


The Loeb Fellowship was established in 1970 through the generosity of the late John L. Loeb, Harvard College '24. Based at the Graduate School of Design, the program offers ten annual postprofessional awards for independent study at Harvard. Through the Fellowship, participants have access to the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, the Graduate School of Design, the Graduate School of Education, Harvard Business School, Harvard College, Harvard Divinity School, Harvard Law School, the Kennedy School of Government, and M.I.T.

The Fellowship is a unique opportunity to nurture the leadership potential of the most promising men and women in design and other professions related to the built and natural environment. It enhances the excellence of the GSD by exposing students to some of the most exciting midcareer professionals in their fields. John Loeb realized this potential when he endowed the Loeb Fellowship to fill a special place in American education: one that would greatly increase the practical effectiveness of the design professions. Now entering its fourth decade, with over 300 alumni, the Fellowship has made substantial progress toward that goal.

We invite you to explore the Loeb Fellowship Web Site. Please check on the current Loeb Fellowship Events and see what is planned on our calendar. You may read about our Current Fellows or visit some of the Loeb Sponsored Sites. You may also use the Loeb Links to connect to several useful Harvard informational sources related to the Loeb Fellowship's academic pursuit. Fellowship Application Information is also available on-line.
