Applications are currently being accepted for one of the Army’s newest broadening opportunity programs – The Major General Edwin “Forrest” Harding Fellowship.
The Harding Fellowship is a competitive 36-month program consisting of a one-year accelerated master’s degree program at the William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications at the University of Kansas for active component captains, non-commissioned officers in the grade of E-8, and warrant officers in the grade of CW4. Upon completion, Fellows will then serve as editors-in-chief for the branch journals at their respective center of excellence for a two-year term.
The Harding Fellowship produces leaders who strengthen the Army profession with their deep expertise in branch matters and superior communications skills. Given the two-year editor term, the Harding Fellowship alternates eligible branches by year.
In FY25, Special Forces, Psychological Operations and Civil Affairs branch personnel may apply for utilization as editor-in-chief of “Special Warfare” at Fort Liberty, NC.
They are now accepting applications for the second group of fellows. Army University recently published an article regarding the application window for the fellowship — Harding Fellowship application window now open | Article | The United States Army
