The Humphrey Fellowship Program is for experienced professionals interested in strengthening their leadership skills through a mutual exchange of knowledge and understanding about issues of common concern in the U.S. and Fellows’ home countries. As a non-degree program, the Fellowship offers valuable opportunities for professional development through selected university courses, attending conferences, networking, and practical work experiences. During the year, Fellows pursue both their individual program goals and work closely with their Humphrey colleagues in workshops and seminars. Unlike a typical graduate school experience, the Program encourages Fellows to travel away from their host campus to learn more about American culture and to network with their American peers. If you are interested in broadening your perspectives and becoming a global leader, the Humphrey Fellowship is for you.

    PFF Community Leadership Fellowships at Stanford University, USA

    / March 23, 2011 Leave a Comment

    A new fellowship program will provide opportunities for students to develop their global leadership skills by working with international communities in need. The PFF Community Leadership Program, funded by the Pathy Family Foundation and administered by the Queen’s University International Centre (QUIC), offers up to $30,000 for each eight to 12-month fellowship. Two fellowships will be awarded this year and four fellowships each of the following two years.“Many leadership-oriented students dream up innovative projects but struggle to find the funding to carry them out. This program will empower them to affect social change around the world,” says Rowena Selby, QUIC education abroad advisor.
    Projects can vary in scope as long as they address a community need. Innovative and entrepreneurial projects of social and intercultural significance will receive special consideration. Applicants must also show the potential on-going sustainability of the project after the fellowship. The foundation chose to partner with Queen’s because it was impressed by QUIC’s support for and commitment to international student activities and programs. PFF hopes recipients will benefit from the leadership experience provided by the fellowship and that it will reinforce their commitment to community service throughout their lives. At the end of the fellowship, the students will return to Queen’s and participate in activities on campus that deepen people’s understanding of the social and cultural context of the communities within which the projects were undertaken.

    Scholarship Application Deadline: 14 April  2012
