Horowitz Foundation Grants

On this Page:

Irving Louis Horowitz and Mary Curtis Horowitz founded the Horowitz Foundation for Social Policy in 1997 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Supporting the growth of knowledge and research in the main social science subjects is its main goal. Its specific objective is to give dissertation-level aspiring Ph.D. students minor scholarships to support the research they are doing for their thesis.

The main aim of the Horowitz Foundation is to support emerging scholars through small grants, to promote scholarship with a social policy application, and to encourage projects that address contemporary issues in the social sciences.
