Pershing Square Scholars are exceptional individuals who have demonstrated the capacity and commitment to finding scalable and long-term solutions to global cultural issues.

During both years, you will have access to and leverage the resources and networks of your department as well as Oxford Sad.
You will also be invited to a Foundation Pershing Square summer ‘walk’ in New York City, where you can participate in conferences and lectures with important inventors and shift manufacturers.
