Fellowships and Awards

The Coase-Sandor Institute administers several awards for both current students and established scholars. Through these awards, we provide funding to researchers to pursue cutting-edge work and disseminate their findings.

The Donald M. Ephraim Prize in Law and Economics

This Prize recognizes an early-career scholar in the field of law and economics whose work has advanced the state of knowledge in the field and whose intellectual impact has the potential to reach the legal academy, legal profession, and beyond. More information can be found on the Ephraim Prize webpage. 

Lynde and Harry Bradley Student Fellowships

The Bradley Foundation has generously supplied a fund for a limited number of fellowships designed to support its 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.
