Cornell Atkinson Postdoctoral Fellowship 2027 - $65,000/yr

The Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability funds up to four postdoctoral fellows a year on three-year appointments paying $65,000 annually, with full Cornell employee benefits and a further $12,000 a year for research and travel. Applications for the 2027 cohort close on 20 October 2026 at 5pm Eastern, notifications go out in January 2027, and fellowships start between 1 June and 1 September 2027. The structure is what makes this one unusual. Every application needs two mentors lined up before you apply: a PI-eligible Cornell faculty member who is a current Cornell Atkinson Faculty Fellow, and an advisor at an external governmental, non-governmental or private sector partner, which explicitly cannot be another university. Your doctorate must be recent, no earlier than 1 May 2025 for this cycle, and the programme is no longer open to Cornell PhD graduates or Cornell postdocs.

51 Pegasi b Fellowship 2026 - $492,000 Postdoc

The 51 Pegasi b Fellowship gives an early-career planetary astronomer up to $492,000 over three years to do theoretical, observational or experimental research at a US host institution of their choosing. The Heising-Simons Foundation runs it, applications for the current cycle close on 1 October 2026 at 2pm Pacific Time, and decisions go out by mid-February. Named after the first exoplanet found orbiting a sun-like star, the fellowship covers salary and benefits and adds flexible discretionary research funding on top, which is the part fellows tend to talk about. You pick one host institution from the 28 taking part across the US. American citizenship is not required, though visa and work permit paperwork falls to you and your host rather than to the Foundation. Fellows can apply for a fourth year, or for a one-year grant if they land a faculty or permanent staff post.

Mastercard Internship 2027 - Paid US Summer Roles

Mastercard runs paid internships across eleven categories, from software engineering and cybersecurity to consulting, finance, product management and marketing, in more than 40 countries and with placements running anywhere from a few weeks to a full year. The US summer programme is the one most students want. Eligibility is stated plainly: you must be currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree and set to complete your studies the year after you intern. Postings for a given summer start appearing the previous autumn, and applications are reviewed on a rolling basis rather than against a closing date, so the practical deadline is whenever the seats fill. One rule ends a lot of applications early: many Mastercard intern postings state they are not eligible for work authorization sponsorship, so you must already be able to work in the US without it.

UoPeople Scholarships 2027 - Tuition-Free US Degrees

University of the People is an accredited American online university that charges no tuition and no money for textbooks or course materials. What it does charge is a one-time $60 application fee and an assessment fee at the end of every course: $180 for undergraduate courses, $430 for M.Ed. courses and $490 for MBA and MS-IT courses. A full bachelor's degree comes to $7,260 and an MBA to $5,940. UoPeople scholarships exist to cover those fees, funded by partners including SAP, Intel, the Algorand Foundation and the Simone Biles Legacy Scholarship Fund, alongside country and refugee funds. There is no scholarship deadline. You apply for admission first, and once accepted you request a scholarship from the funding page in the Student Portal, where money is granted first-come, first-served and applied to your assessment fees until it runs out.

Every scholar pledges to return home within a year of graduating and work there for at least three years.

Human Rights Advocates Program 2027 - HRAP at Columbia

The Human Rights Advocates Program (HRAP) at Columbia University's Institute for the Study of Human Rights brings grassroots human rights advocates to New York for a six-month capacity-building programme built from academic coursework, skills workshops, mentoring, networking and an advocacy trip to Washington, D.C. Applications for the Fall 2027 and Spring 2028 programmes close on 15 October 2026. Read the funding line carefully before you apply, because the aggregator sites get it wrong: only a very limited number of full scholarships are awarded, and other admitted applicants are asked to cover expenses including living costs and stipend. ISHR does make every effort to secure funding for shortlisted Advocates. HRAP is for people doing the work, not for students: full-time students, academics and government officials are not considered, and applicants from high-income countries are ruled out unless they represent marginalized communities.

Jefferson Scholarship 2027 - Full Ride to UVA

The Jefferson Scholarship covers the full cost of four years at the University of Virginia, worth more than $42,000 a year for Virginia residents and more than $83,000 a year for everyone else, which comes to roughly $230,000 and $405,000 across a degree. The Jefferson Scholars Foundation runs it, and there is one hard rule that catches most people out: you cannot apply. Schools nominate, one senior per school per year for the Jefferson award, and 7,697 secondary schools were invited to nominate in the 2025-26 cycle. Counselor and nominee materials are due 1 December 2026 for most of the 65-plus regions, and 15 November 2026 for the At-Large and International At-Large regions.

Public Service Scholarships 2026 - 100% Tuition at SAIS

Johns Hopkins SAIS runs two Public Service awards on its Washington DC campus, and they are aimed at very different people. Public Service Fellows are students entering the Master of Arts in International Relations who want a career in public service; they receive a 100% tuition scholarship in year one, renewable for a second year on full-time enrolment and a 3.4 GPA. Public Service Scholars are mid-career professionals entering the Master of International Public Policy who have already worked in public service and intend to go back to it; they receive 50% of tuition. Citizens of any country can apply, both tracks are Fall entry only, and preference goes to candidates who can demonstrate financial need. There is no separate scholarship form. You tick two boxes on the degree application, one for institutional aid and one for the Public Service Award, by the 1 November early round or the January regular round.

Five Rings Quantitative Researcher Internship 2027

The Five Rings Summer Intern 2027 Quantitative Researcher role is a nine-week paid PhD internship in New York, running from the beginning of June to the beginning of August 2027. Five Rings lists the annual base salary at $300,000, roughly $52,000 across the nine weeks, plus a sign-on bonus and corporate housing. Interns work with the research team on development projects with a mentor fully dedicated to them, alongside classroom instruction, in-house strategy games and a series of talks on key trading concepts. The hard gate is the degree: you must be working towards a PhD in computer science, mathematics, physics, statistics, economics or another qualifying field, with basic programming experience from academia or an internship. Note that unlike the sibling quantitative trader posting, this one carries no statement welcoming applicants from outside the US.

Interns join a finance team supporting one part of the supply chain, such as Customer Fulfillment, Amazon Logistics or Amazon Air, and own a single project that gets attention from senior leadership. Amazon lists the Seattle pay as $80,200 to $99,300 a year, which is roughly $18,500 to $22,900 across a 12-week internship. You need to be enrolled in a bachelor's degree in finance, economics, industrial engineering, accounting, supply chain, operations, business, mathematics or a related field, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028. Two details catch people out: despite the name the internship itself is not rotational, and Amazon states it cannot offer visa sponsorship for this role.

Coca-Cola Scholars Program 2027 - $20,000 Award

The Coca-Cola Scholars Program is a $20,000 achievement-based scholarship for US high school seniors, and the open cycle is the 2027 application for students graduating during the 2026-2027 academic year. It closes at 5pm Eastern on Wednesday 30 September 2026. One hundred and fifty Coke Scholars are chosen each year, and the first phase asks for no essays, no transcript and no recommendations, which makes it one of the lowest-effort major scholarship applications in the country to start. Selection then narrows hard: about 1 per cent of applicants become Semifinalists in October, roughly 1,200 people, of whom 250 become Regional Finalists interviewed in late January or early February, and 150 are invited to Coke Scholars Weekend in Atlanta in April. You need a minimum B or 3.0 GPA and you must attend school in one of the 50 states, DC, Puerto Rico or a select Department of Defense school.

Priority goes to pitches on AI regulation and tech policy, investigations into the companies and people shaping the AI industry, the effect of AI on children and families, and how workers and unions are dealing with AI at work.
