The Louis O. Kelso Fellowships for the study of broadened ownership of capital in a democratic society will be awarded through Rutgers University for the 2010-2011 academic year to outstanding scholars studying the topic of broadened ownership. The general theme of the fellowships includes the study of the idea, practice, and public policy of broadened ownership of capital assets in society.

 

The fellowships would permit the scholars to conduct their own work and also associate with several faculty members at Rutgers engaged in this area of research and receive mentoring and support. Ph.D. candidates, post-doctoral scholars, or visiting professors in the areas of business/economics/labor studies/management, history, law, philosophy, political science, psychology, public policy, or sociology may apply.

 

“Here is another example that the Association’s 501(c)(3) affiliate, the Employee Ownership Foundation, is becoming the number one driver in maintaining and expanding the vision of Dr. Kelso, the father of employee ownership through ESOPs,” said J. Michael Keeling, president of The ESOP Association and the Employee Ownership Foundation.
