The Gerald R. Ford Scholar Award in Honor of Robert M. Teeter is an annual award of $5000 given to a doctoral student to support dissertation research and writing in any field related to any aspect of the United States political process and public policy during the last half of the 20th century. Of special interest is the role and analysis of public opinion in that process. The Selection Committee encourages applications from doctoral students in a wide range of fields, including Political Science, History, Journalism, Communications, Public Policy, Foreign Relations, and American Studies.

The Gerald R. Ford Scholar will be required to conduct at least a portion of his or her research at the Gerald R. Ford Library in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and, if appropriate, will be encouraged to make full use of the Robert M. Teeter Papers.
