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.

Access to outstanding resident scholars

National Fellows can draw on the expertise of resident fellows and university faculty, who are available to discuss research topics and provide valuable insight into policy issues and strategic challenges.

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.
