  • Ayotunde Giwa, a doctoral student studying philosophy and political science, was one of 20 students to earn a 2026 Horowitz Foundation Award in recognition of outstanding dissertation research in social policy. The Horowitz Foundation for Social Policy received 845 applications this year, meaning it chose the students in the top 2.4% of that pool whose research demonstrates potential to inform public understanding and policy practice. Those selected receive grants for policy-related research in the social sciences for the 2025-26 award year.
