The APSA and the Women's Caucus for Political Science have developed the Marguerite Ross Barnett Endowment Fellowship to honor the memory of political scientist Marguerite Ross Barnett - former president of the University of Houston, chancellor of the University of Missouri-St. Louis, and member of the board of directors of the Monsanto Corporation - whose untimely death in 1992 at the age of 49 cut short a brilliant career of an extraordinary American.

The Barnett Endowment acknowledges the breadth of her scholarly and personal commitments. The Fund will support a biennial postdoctoral fellowship for a political scientist engaged in research on issues of diversity, cultural nationalism, African-American voting behavior, education policy, or urban and minority policy and politics. The fellowship can be applied to resident or non-resident scholars of the Centennial Center.

If applying as a Visiting Scholar, a separate application file is not necessary. Interest in this assistance may be noted on the Centennial Center Visiting Scholar Application.

Non-resident scholars interested in funding, should complete the Non-Resident Scholar Application Form.
