In partnership with the Program on Human Rights, we are proud to offer summer Human Rights Fellowships. These fellowships are intended to enable students to make a valuable contribution to human rights theory and practice. Offered to rising sophomores, juniors and seniors, grants will be given to four undergraduates who will partner with human rights organizations, government agencies, NGOs, or international organizations (either here or abroad). It is our hope that these fellowships will encourage students to build human rights work into their future careers, whether those careers are in academic life, in governmental or intergovernmental organizations, as activists, or as legal practitioners.that Human Rights Fellowships will not be offered for the summer of 2011 but will again be offered for summer 2012. That said, during the course of 2010-2011, we will hold a number of info sessions to describe in detail the types of fellowships we will be supporting in 2012, what makes a good proposal, required courses/readings, and expected faculty/mentor relationships. If you would like to be put on a mailing list so you are notified of these sessions, please email Joan Berry. That said, there are a number of steps that you must take to prepare yourself to be competitive for the fellowship. Please review the FAQs and the timeline (links below) to make sure you are aware of the requirements and can plan accordingly.

Scholarship Application Deadline: Applications for summer 2012 fellowships will be due on January 31, 2012 (with a preliminary proposal submitted by Oct 31, 2011).
