2026 Lincoln Institute Scholars Program

The 2026 Lincoln Institute Scholars Program provides an opportunity for recent PhDs (one to two years post-graduate) specializing in public finance or urban economics to work with senior academics.  

Lincoln Institute Scholars will be invited to the institute for a program on April 29–May 1, 2026, that will include:  

• presentations by a panel of journal editors on the academic publication process; 
• a workshop in which senior scholars comment on draft papers written by the Lincoln Institute Scholars;
• an opportunity for the Lincoln Institute Scholars to make presentations on their research; and
• a seminar in which leading scholars in public finance and urban economics present their latest research.
