Center for the Study of Philanthropy Invites Applications for
International Fellows Program
The Center for the Study of Philanthropy (CSP),
located at the mid-Manhattan campus of the Graduate School and University Center
of the City University of New York, was founded in September 1986 to provide an
ongoing national and international forum for research, discussion, and public
education on philanthropic trends. CSP's International Fellows Program is
designed to provide leadership training through applied research and
professional mentorships for young scholar-practitioners in the nonprofit sector.
The program is open to scholars and practitioners from outside the United States
to help build Third-Sector capacity in the fellows' home countries.
Fellows are based at the Graduate Center of
the City University of New York, where they design and pursue a research project
and participate in internships with foundations. Specific topical areas are
chosen each year. The topic for the year 2003 will be community foundations,
although work on diaspora philanthropy may also be relevant.
Fellows will participate in a 3-month seminar
on the U.S. and international voluntary sectors. The program begins on March 1,
2003. Fellows are expected to produce a 30-50 page paper in English on their
findings to be presented in the seminar. They will learn about the work of key
agencies and meet with foundation and nonprofit representatives. They will also
attend elected conferences.
Each fellowship covers the cost of tuition and
also includes a $1,300 per month stipend to cover living expenses. The Center
will also provide housing and round-trip air tickets for travel to and from the
United States.
The program is open to practitioners and
researchers under the age of 36 who are citizens of countries other than the
United States. Applicants must have a high degree of spoken and written fluency
in English. Preference will be given to candidates with a strong institutional
base and demonstrated research skills.
Complete program guidelines and application
procedures are available at the Center for the Study of Philanthropy's Web site.
