Top Essays To Be Awarded $2,500 (Students) or $10,000 (Untenured Faculty)
The Independent Institute is pleased to announce the 2007 Olive W. Garvey Fellowship Competition. Cash prizes will be awarded to outstanding college students — and untenured “junior” faculty — from around the world through a competitive essay contest.
The 2007 Garvey Fellowship Prizes will be awarded for the best essay on the topic: “Is foreign aid the solution to global poverty?”
A panel of three judges will look for the best essays related to the topic — original essays distinguished by their clarity, rigor, and eloquence. The essays need not be technical or demonstrate hyper-specialized scholarship, although they should be serious in content, tone, and style. Held biennially, the Garvey Fellowship is intended to encourage and reward scholarship pertaining to the meaning and significance of economic and personal liberties.
