Beyster, Kelso, and Smiley Fellowship Applications Sought

Rutgers University's School of Management and Labor Relations will offer 11 Beyster, Kelso, Rutgers, and Smiley fellowships for the 2010-2011 academic year to outstanding PhD candidates or post-doctoral scholars studying broadening the ownership of capital assets among members of a democratic society, such as employee ownership, profit sharing, and broad-based stock options in the corporation. Fellows can also work on issues related to how consumers and other individuals can acquire capital ownership of other enterprises. Stipends are $5,000, $12,500, and $25,000.

The fellowship recipients may be supported at their home institution or may be in residence at Rutgers University, with the period and length of residency varying between July 1, 2010, and June 30, 2011. The fellowships can be used for research, travel, or living expenses. The Beyster Fellowships are supported by the Foundation for Enterprise Development and the related fellowships are supported by the Employee Ownership Foundation.
