University Of Pittsburgh Heinz Fellowship 2026

The University of Pittsburgh Heinz Fellowship 2026 offers a one- to two-year fellowship for students from developing countries pursuing a master's degree at the University of Pittsburgh. It provides a living stipend and a certificate upon completion, with the program aimed at leadership development in public, government, non-profit, or private sectors.

Recipients receive a $20,000 living stipend paid in monthly instalments; Fellows are awarded a Heinz Program certificate upon successful completion; fellows are encouraged to engage in community outreach and leadership development.

Applicants must have been admitted to a master's program at the University of Pittsburgh in one of the specified schools, must have completed an undergraduate degree, and must be proficient in English. Preference is given to applicants in the early or mid-stages of their career; the fellowship is intended for individuals in practitioner and policy domains.

Candidates must state their interest during their master's program application; Pitt will nominate the candidate for the fellowship once admitted.
