About Peace Studies PhD Scholarships

The Kroc Institute’s Peace Studies PhD Scholarships program enables students to become extraordinary researchers and instructors who contribute to a growing corpus of peacebuilding knowledge and practice with the goal of decreasing human suffering and addressing violence.

For study and course work, researchers select one of the following disciplines: psychology, anthropology, history, sociology, political science, or theology. The peace studies curriculum is blended with standard humanities and social science fields to provide a unique study framework for each applicant. Scholars have access to a wide range of study opportunities within the Institute and across the University of Notre Dame.

Eligibility Criteria For Peace Studies PhD Scholarships

Applicants must hold at least a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution, domestic or international, to be eligible for admission to a graduate program at the University of Notre Dame. It is also anticipated that applicants will have related training or research experience in the joint area to which they are applying. Previous graduate work is not required except in the case of Peace Studies and Theology for which a master’s degree in theology is required. Prospective students interested in a master’s degree in peace studies should explore the Master of Global Affairs in International Peace Studies program.

Financial Support/Worth of Scholarship

All graduate students admitted to the Ph.D. Program in Peace Studies are offered a full tuition scholarship, a generous stipend (view a cost-of-living comparison here), and additional support for research travel, conference presentations, and other professional development.
