Intl Fellowshp in NY For Study of Philanthropy

Dear Colleague:

The Center for the Study of Philanthropy at The Graduate Center of The City
University of New York is pleased to announce a unique fellowship
opportunity for young scholar-practitioners in the international NGO sector.
The International Fellows Program provides leadership training through
applied research and professional mentorships. Selected fellows participate
in a 3-month seminar on the US and international voluntary sectors. During
their residency, fellows learn about the work of key agencies, meet with
foundation and nonprofit representatives, and conduct an original research
project to be presented in the seminar.

The topic of the International Fellows Program 2003 is community
foundations, although work on diaspora philanthropy may also be relevant.
Candidates must be under 36 years of age, non-US citizens, highly fluent in
written and spoken English and preferably have a strong institutional base
and demonstrated research skills. Application proposals must be postmarked
no later than October 15, 2002.

For further details on the program and application process, please visit
www.philanthropy.org, under the heading International Philanthropy. For your
convenience, an electronic copy of the brochure is also attached. Printed
brochures are also available. Questions about the program may be addressed
directly to: [email protected].

I thank you in advance for sharing this information with other organizations
and individuals working in the nonprofit and civil society sectors.
Sincerely,

Barbara Luria Leopold
