Herbert Scoville Jr. Peace Fellowship

The Herbert Scoville Jr. Peace Fellowship was established in 1987 to provide college graduates with the opportunity to gain a Washington perspective on key issues of peace and security by working with nonprofit, public-interest organizations. Twice yearly, the Fellowship's Board of Directors selects 2-3 (each cycle) outstanding individuals to spend six to nine months in Washington. Supported by a monthly stipend, the Fellows serve as full-time project assistants at organizations participating in the Program. In the Program's first seventeen years, ninety-four fellowships have been awarded. The deadline for receipt of all application materials is: Spring Fellowship- October 15; Fall Fellowship- February 1.

Selection

Prospective Fellows are expected to demonstrate excellent academic accomplishments and a strong interest in issues of peace and security. Graduate study, a college major, course work, or substantial independent reading that reflects the substantive focus of the fellowship is also a plus. Prior experience with public-interest activism or advocacy is highly desirable. It is preferred, but not required, that such activities be focused on peace and security issues.
