Launched in 1983, the McCloy Scholarship Program enables highly qualified students from all disciplines to pursue a two-year master's degree at the Harvard Kennedy School (HKS). In addition to contributing to the qualification of future leaders in public and international organizations, the program aims to promote transatlantic relations and to connect the McCloy scholarship holders also beyond their studies. Up to six scholarships are awarded each year.

The program is funded by Harvard University, the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection as administrator of the Special ERP-assets of the German Federal Government, the Haniel Foundation, the McCloy Scholarship Foundation, and the Association for the Promotion of the McCloy Scholarship Program.

Applications will open August 1st and close November 1st, 2026.
