W. Glenn Campbell and Rita Ricardo-Campbell National Fellows

The Hoover Institution's Glenn Campbell and Rita Ricardo-Campbell National Fellows Program enables outstanding scholars from colleges, universities, and institutions worldwide to step away from their academic and professional responsibilities for one year to pursue unrestricted, creative research and publication. The fellowships provide an opportunity to complete an original, significant research project, with the expectation of producing a publishable manuscript while in residence at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University in Stanford, California.

Participation in the program begins on September 1, 2026, and ends on August 31, 2027. National Fellows are encouraged to engage in the intellectual life of the Hoover Institution and are expected to deliver at least one presentation on their research to an appropriate group of scholars during their year in residence. Total compensation for full participation ranges from $125,000 to $155,000.

Application to the program requires the online submission of:

• Cover letter
• Curriculum vitae
• Three (3) to five (5) page research proposal
• Three (3) to five (5) confidential letters of recommendation from leading scholars

All materials must be submitted electronically by November 18, 2025.
