ASPEN INSTITUTE OFFERS MINOIRTY FELLOWSHIP
The Nonprofit Sector and Philanthropy Program of the Aspen Institute is seeking applications for the William Randolph Hearst Endowed Fellowship.
The Hearst Fellow serves as an intern with NSPP. Through the fellowship, NSPP seeks to introduce a diverse group of students to issues relating to philanthropy, volunteerism, and nonprofit organizations. Recipients may arrange with their colleges or universities to receive academic credit for this experience.
The fellowship, which is based on academic excellence and need, is open to both undergraduate and graduate students of color. The ideal candidate is a highly motivated continuing graduate or undergraduate student from an underrepresented community. S/he should have an excellent academic record and outstanding research skills; demonstrated interest or experience in the nonprofit sector; excellent writing and communication skills; demonstrated financial need; and American citizenship.
The student must be able to intern for ten to fifteen weeks at the Washington, D.C., office of the Aspen Institute. It is generally expected that fall and spring internships will be part-time (ten to twenty hours per week) and summer internships will be full-time. All travel and housing costs must be covered by the student. A fellowship grant of between $2,500 and $5,000 will be awarded, depending on the recipient's educational level, financial need and time commitment.
Applications are considered three times annually based on the timing of applicants' availability: the Spring 2009 deadline is December 15th, 2008; the Summer 2009 deadline is March 15th, 2009; and the Fall 2009 deadline is July 15, 2009.
