The Hayek Fund for Scholars provides awards of up to $1,000 to graduate students and faculty members for career-advancing activities.

The award is open to graduate students who intend to pursue academic careers and untenured faculty members whose academic work contributes to the understanding of the principles, practices, and institutions necessary to a free society or to the understanding of the classical liberal or libertarian tradition. Hayek Fund awards are given for career-advancing activities including, but not limited to:

  • Presentations at academic or professional conferences
  • Travel to academic job interviews (on campus or at professional/academic conferences)
  • Travel to and research at archives or libraries

Please note: Hayek Fund awards are not given for conference attendance alone, funding will only be considered for individuals presenting a paper or interviewing for jobs at the conference.

"Receiving awards from the Hayek Fund has enabled me to present papers at some of the most significant conferences in philosophy. As a direct result I have been asked to write both a critical notice and a book review. I have also been asked to submit two of my presented papers as articles. Finally, through revising my work after its exposure to the critical scrutiny of senior scholars in my field, I have had a paper accepted as a Colloquium Paper at the American Philosophical Association's meeting."
