With support from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), the PSTC population studies training program is one of the longest continuously funded demography training programs in the country, offering up to five graduate fellowships annually. Current NICHD Fellows include Meghan Bellerose (Public Health), Macy Brammer (Sociology), Jonathon Briones (Sociology), Adamson Bryant (Economics), and Sean McCulloch (Economics). In addition, the Graduate School offers two fellowships annually to international students. Current International Fellows include Zachk Huang (Sociology) and Moritz Poll (Economics).

The relatively small size of the training program guarantees personalized attention, collaborative research opportunities, close faculty mentoring, access to outstanding facilities, and additional financial support for field research, data acquisition, and specialized language or methods courses.

The following trainees are fellows for the 2023-2024 academic year:
