Fellowships and Awards

Lynde and Harry Bradley Student Fellowships

The Bradley Foundation has generously supplied a fund for a limited number of fellowships designed to support its own academic mission. That mission rests on the presupposition that responsible self government depends not only on intelligent laws, but also on the creation of a civic environment that encourages enlightened citizens to participate in a discussion of controversial issues. Consistent with these ideals, the Foundation also hopes that students will work and study in areas that explore the role of limited government in a legal regime that fosters a dynamic marketplace for economic, intellectual and cultural activity, both in the United States and abroad.

The 2016-17 Bradley Student Fellows are Clayton Cromer and Lael Weinberger.

The Ronald H. Coase Prize

This prize was created through gifts from Junjiro Tsubota, a member of the Class of 1967, to honor excellence in the study of law and economics.

The winners of the prize for 2007-8 are David Abrams and Albert H. Yoon.
