They select 5 per year or so. http://wtgrantfoundation.org/grants/william-t-grant-scholars-program<h... I’ve attached a list of awardees since 2018 with information about their institutional affiliation, research expertise, and work funded by WT Grant. Some of the common departments are education, sociology, public health, and psychology. Economics, law, and business also appear in the list. March 23 – Applicants must submit a notice of intent to limitedsubmissions@utsa.edu<mailto:limitedsubmissions@utsa.edu>. April 6 – internal proposals due. Instructions will be sent to applicants from limited submissions no later than March 25. April 20 – a decision to applicants for the limited submission. July 6 – proposal due to W.T. Grant From the funder: Eligible Applicants Applicants must be nominated by their institutions. Major divisions (e.g., College of Arts and Sciences, Medical School) of an institution may nominate only one applicant each year. In addition to the eligibility criteria below, deans and directors of those divisions should refer to the Selection Criteria (pp. 32-36) to aid them in choosing their nominees. Applicants of any discipline are eligible. Applicants must have received their terminal degree within seven years of submitting their application. We calculate this by adding seven years to the date the doctoral degree was conferred. In medicine, the seven-year maximum is dated from the completion of the first residency. Applicants must be employed in career-ladder positions. For many applicants, this means holding a tenure-track position in a university. Applicants in other types of organizations should be in positions in which there is a pathway to advancement in a research career at the organization and the organization is fiscally responsible for the applicant’s position. The award may not be used as a post-doctoral fellowship. Applicants outside the United States are eligible. As with U.S. applicants, they must pursue research that has compelling policy or practice implications for youth in the United States.
