Home > About the Academy > Junior Fellows

The Academy invites leading social science departments in the United States to designate one undergraduate senior each year as a Junior Fellow of the American Academy of Political and Social Science. Although the process for selecting the Junior Fellow may vary from department to department, each designee satisfies three criteria:

an outstanding grasp of a discipline's theories and methods, as demonstrated through prior coursework in the student's major department,
an enthusiasm for understanding social issues, and
the promise of making substantial contributions to the social sciences in the future.
