The 2024-2025 McCourt School of Public Policy Fogel Scholarship is made possible by generous support from triple Hoya and McCourt School Advisory Board member David Fogel (F’93, L’97, MBA’97). The Scholarship provides one incoming student enrolled in McCourt School graduate programs with financial support toward the completion of their graduate education, alongside with opportunities to engage in rigorous policy research at one of the nation’s leading think tanks. 

Fogel Scholarship recipients receive an annual tuition scholarship of up to $25,000 toward one of the McCourt School’s four graduate programs (MPP, MS-DSPP, MPM, MIDP), and a research internship with $3,000 stipend to engage on pressing policy questions with select scholars, economists, political scientists and foreign policy specialists at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI).

Once selected, Fogel Scholarship recipients will be matched with AEI Research Faculty for a semester-long internship. Matching will be conducted based on students’ alignment with research needs and areas of interest across policy areas that include economics, health care, poverty studies, foreign and defense policy, education, politics and public opinion, society and culture. The American Enterprise Institute is a public policy think tank dedicated to defending human dignity, expanding human potential, and building a freer and safer world. The work of its scholars and staff advances ideas rooted in their belief in democracy, free enterprise, American strength and global leadership, solidarity with those at the periphery of society, and a pluralistic, entrepreneurial culture.
