Fulbright program offers students opportunities for funded travel abroad

Are you currently a junior, senior, graduate student or a recent bachelor's
or master's graduate looking for a fully-funded abroad experience during the
2013-14 academic year? Consider the Fulbright U.S. Student Program
(http://us.fulbrightonline.org/home.html [us.fulbrightonline.org]). This
program is designed to give students, artists, and other professionals
opportunities to pursue research, graduate study or English teaching
experience in over 155 nations worldwide.

The application cycle for the 2013-2014 Fulbright U.S. Student competition
will open on May 1, 2012. The campus deadline for applications is September
12, 2012.

WHAT IS A U.S. STUDENT FULBRIGHT GRANT?
 - It allows for individually designed study/research or an English Teaching
Assistantship. You can propose a project and/or study plan that will take
place during one academic year in a country outside the U.S.

- It provides support for study/research/teaching in a single country.
 (Limited opportunities exist for traveling to more than one country.) You
can meet, work, live with and learn from the people of the host country,
sharing daily experiences.
 - It facilitates cultural exchange. Through direct interaction on an
individual basis in the classroom, field, home, and in daily tasks, you can
gain an appreciation of others' viewpoints and beliefs, the way they do
things, and the way they think.
 - It promotes mutual understanding. Through engagement in the community,
you can interact with your hosts on a one-to-one basis in an atmosphere of
openness, academic integrity, and intellectual freedom.

Environment Washington is a statewide, citizen-based environmental advocacy group, working to protect open spaces, protect Puget Sound and protect our air.  Right now, I?m working to address the growing
problem of plastic pollution in Puget Sound, especially because of the
profound impact it has on marine wildlife, by banning plastic bags.
 
Environment Washington is part of the Environment America federation, a
federation of 29 state-based environmental groups.  Each year, Environment America hires passionate, talented and committed college
graduates to join our two-year Fellowship Program. 
 
Students hired as fellows with Environment America:
 
?         Plan and run their own campaigns ? for example, in Washington, I am
working to protect Puget
Sound marine wildlife by banning plastic bags.
 
 
 
?         Research and identify effective solutions to critical environmental
problems.  Fellows build
and mobilize the political power it takes to make those solutions a reality.
 
 
 
?         Lobby lawmakers; publish opinion pieces in major newspapers and on
key websites; set up and
speak at news conferences; organize town hall meetings and rallies; and run
citizen outreach campaigns
to educate the public, build membership and raise money for our work.  And
fellows recruit interns,
activists, and staff to work alongside you.
 
 
 
?         Bottom line: Fellows make a real difference.
 
 
 
?        Fellows get the training they need to make that difference.  Fellows
attend classroom-style
trainings throughout the year, and work alongside some of the nation?s top
environmental advocates and
organizers, and learn the most through hands-on experience.  
 
 
 
The fellowship is just the beginning.  After just two years of hard work,
fellows have the skills and
experience to take on even more leadership here at Environment America or
elsewhere in the environmental
community.

speak at news conferences; organize town hall meetings and rallies; and run
citizen outreach campaigns
to educate the public, build membership and raise money for our work.  And
fellows recruit interns,
activists, and staff to work alongside you.
 
 
 
?         Bottom line: Fellows make a real difference.
 
 
 
?        Fellows get the training they need to make that difference.  Fellows
attend classroom-style
trainings throughout the year, and work alongside some of the nation?s top
environmental advocates and
organizers, and learn the most through hands-on experience.  
 
 
 
The fellowship is just the beginning.  After just two years of hard work,
fellows have the skills and

administered through the Carlson Leadership and Public Service Center, and

As a Carlson Civic Fellow, each recipient will make a commitment to serve a
community-based organization from January to June 2012. Fellows will work an
average of 10 hours each week on a project designed to meet existing needs
within their community organization; ideally these projects will also engage

service projects, and community events.  Candidates selected to be a Carlson

supported with a $2000 scholarship (paid upon the completion of fellowship
requirements). This scholarship is intended to free students from work
commitments and provide the time needed to work in partnership with the
community.
 
The Sterling and Gene Munro Public Service Fellowship is meant to encourage
a life-long commitment to public service by providing outstanding
undergraduates with the opportunity to explore their potential for service
and leadership in the community.  Munro Public Service Fellows are selected
on the basis of a proposed public service initiative and their commitment to
community engagement. Munro fellows will be selected by December 2011 and be
awarded their fellowship during the Winter and Spring quarters of 2012. The
total award amount will range from $2000 to $4000, depending on the number
of fellows selected.
 
Benefits of the Fellowships:
 
?        Join a cohort of other student leaders with a commitment to working
in community. 
 
?        Personal advising and leadership development training from
experienced educators.
 
?        Academic course content that ties community-work to academic
topics/themes. 
 
?        Guidance and advice on leveraging hands-on experiences to launch
post-UW goals (employment or graduate school).
 
?        Financial support to put toward your educational expenses or use to
advance community-based projects.

AAJA will award one news internship grant of $1,750,

The grants are directed for print, online, broadcast or

The Stanford Chen Internship Grant was

AAJA member whose dedication to young
journalists was an inspiration to many.

Chen was the founder of AAJA's Portland
chapter, served as National Secretary

unofficial historian. Most importantly, he was a mentor,
teacher and friend.

AAJA highly encourages students from or are interning in
the northwest to apply.

Applicants must have a serious interest in pursuing a career
in journalism. Applicants must have already secured an
internship with a print company (daily circulation under
100,000) or broadcasting company (markets smaller than
the top 50). The grant is to be used toward living expenses
and transportation.

AAJA membership is encouraged for all applicants and
required for the selected interns.

Applications must be received no later than
Friday May 2, 2011.

Submit four complete, collated sets (one original, three copies) of the following materials. Faxes will not be
accepted. Use paper clips, not staples when preparing your application.

The Washington Bus is now taking applications for our 2011 Summer Fellowship Program.

The Washington Bus Summer Fellowship is a ten-week
political boot camp in Seattle. Bus Fellows spend a summer learning state-of-the-art campaign management, grassroots organizing, public policy formulation and leadership skills.

The Summer Fellows program is not a political leaning program, but is run through the Washington Bus Education Fund, a completely non-partisan and non-profit side of the Bus. It is a great opportunity for anyone interested
in building leadership skills and engaging in community advocacy.
 
Once you're done, you'll be prepared for leadership positions in campaigns and political movements all across the state. 

WAIT...WHY?
 
Young people are left out of the political process. The average age of a Washingtonian is 36-years-old, but out of 147 state legislators, just 16 are under 40. The voice that's missing in Olympia is you.
 
Until now. The Washington Bus Summer Fellowship takes young people who see the need for change, equips them with the best political tools available, and injects them directly into the political arena.
 
WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
 
1.    Democratize Democracy. The Washington Bus Summer Fellowship puts democracy back in the hands of "we the people". Fellows come from all corners of Washington and acquire the skills to become effective political leaders. 
 
2.    Immediate Impact. Fellows spend the summer designing and implementing field plans that directly support progressive causes in Washington. They select races they care about, making an immediate difference in their 
communities.
 
3.    Leadership Development. The Washington Bus Summer Fellowship is jet fuel for young leaders. Fellows have the opportunity to meet and learn from
leaders and experts from a vast network of organizations. In addition to trainings on public policy and organizing, Fellows gain hands-on experience by running events and managing volunteers.
 
WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE A WASHINGTON BUS FELLOW?
 
The eye of the tiger, the heart of a champion, and the courage to drive Washington state politics in a new direction.    
 
  *  Between 18 and 24 years old
  *  A passion for civic engagement and a desire to learn about state and local politics
  *  Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
  *  Independent self-starter, with the initiative to achieve complex goals
  *  Excellent interpersonal skills and able to work within a diverse team 
  *  Good sense of humor and forward-thinking values are a must
 
WHAT IS THE TIME COMMITMENT?
 
PowerCorps runs from June 20th to August 20th, 2011. Fellows must be able to participate in all nine weeks of the program. Fellows are expected to commit 50 hours per week. Yes, evenings and weekends.
 
ARE BUS FELLOWS PAID?
 
There are need-based stipends available. Please request when applying.
 
IS HOUSING AVAILABLE FOR BUS FELLOWS?
 
Fellows coming from outside the greater King County area may be eligible for homestays. 
 
HOW DO I APPLY?
 
You can fill out an online application. 

Very important deadlines:
 
Early decision: April 4. 
 
Mailed applications must be postmarked by April 4, 2011; e-mailed applications must be submitted by 11 p.m. PST, April 4.

Code for America - Seattle | Connecting Local Leaders To Solve Local
Problems
 
 
About The Fellowship
Code for America is a new public service fellowship that recruits passionate
technologists to spend a year to work with governments be more efficient.
 
About The Seattle Project
The City of Seattle is a leader in the movement towards open government. The
city staff actively pursues citizen engagement projects: recurring town hall
meetings, platforms for citizens to share ideas for improving the city, and
online dialogues through Facebook and Twitter. The city has opened up access
to many different streams of data and information ranging from building
permits to crime reports. These resources present a valuable opportunity for
civic leaders to become more effective and better connected. Code for
America?s Seattle project is about strengthening the city's network of civic
leaders and making collaboration between these leaders and the city staff
more effective.
 
We Need Your Help
The Code for America fellows hope to take advantage of the great innovative
work Seattle has already done, so they will begin by learning about existing
technology tools. For the entire month of February the fellows will be in
Seattle for the sole purpose of meeting and interviewing the civic leaders
and city staff from the department of transportation to Seattle?s Neighborhood
District Council.
 
Who?s Got Our Back
The Code for America Seattle project is funded by a number of organizations
including the Knight Foundation, Microsoft, The Case Foundation, O'Reilly
Media and the City of Seattle. Seattle was chosen as one of the first cities
to participate in Code for America, based on its proposed project.

It isn't too late (though time is getting short) to get started on the Fulbright
application if they are interested in spending 2011-2012 abroad to do
research, advanced study, or teach English. Program details are at
http://us.fulbrightonline.org/home.html. Basic eligibility requirements are
copied below.
 
For undergraduate applicants, the Office of Merit Scholarships, Fellowships
& Awards will be holding one more workshop on writing the Statement of
Purpose and Personal Statement essays, which are the heart of this
application: Wednesday, July 28, 2010, 3:30-5pm, MGH 120. Undergraduate
students interested in attending this workshop should e-mail me at
robinc@uw.edu to RSVP. (Sorry, this workshop is limited to undergrads and
recent Bachelor's alums only).
 
Graduate students interested in applying should contact Helene Obradovich
(helene@uw.edu) or Marilyn Gray (megray@uw.edu) in the Graduate Office of
Fellowships & Awards.


To be eligible for the Fulbright U.S. Student Program, applicants must:
       1. Be U.S. citizens at the time of application. Permanent
       residents are not eligible. Foreign students may be able to
       apply through their home country and should see
       http://foreign.fulbrightonline.org/ for more information.
 
2. Hold a B.A. degree or the equivalent before the start of the grant
(by summer 2011 for this year's application). Applicants who have not
earned a B.A. degree or the equivalent, but who have extensive
professional study and/or experience in fields in which they wish to
pursue a project, may be considered. In the creative and performing
arts, four years of professional study and/or experience meets the
basic eligibility requirement. Applicants may hold a J.D. degree at
the time of application, but not a doctorate. M.D.s or medical
students or the equivalent (e.g., D.D.Ss, O.D.) who wish to continue
medical or hospital training or to obtain practical clinical
experience can apply. However, M.D.s who have completed formal
postgraduate training and propose attachment to a hospital or clinic
for independent or collaborative research, and others who will have
earned a PhD by the application deadline, should apply to the Council
for International Exchange of Scholars. 
 
3. Be in good health. (Health conditions in some locations may be of
concern and may require preventive measures to protect grantees and
their families. In addition, medical facilities may be inadequate or
unavailable for existing medical problems; this is the reason behind
the requirement for a medical exam and medical clearance for a
specific assignment.)
 
4. Have sufficient proficiency in the written and spoken language of
the host country to communicate with the people and to carry out the
proposed study. Language requirements vary widely among participating
countries, especially for the English Teaching Assistantship, so
students who only speak English may have more options than immediately
apparent.

Humanity In Action Information Sessions
    Tuesday, December 8th, 2:00-3:00 PM, MGH 224 (Dean's Conference Room)
    Wednesday, December 9th, 4:00-5:00 PM, MGH 224 (Dean's Conference Room)
The 2010 Programs will be in Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, and
the United States.
 
Humanity in Action (HIA) is an international fellowship that aims to instill
the values of human dignity and moral responsibility for the protection of
the rights of minorities in a new generation of social, cultural, and
political leaders.  This is a wonderful opportunity for students to develop
this understanding with an international network in countries where they
will have the opportunity to build  multi-national, intergenerational
network of present and emerging leaders in diverse professional fields who
share these commitments.
 
In 2009, two UW students were selected for the summer program -- Mina
Barahimi, a Law Societies & Justice major and Sarah Howard, a CHID and Latin
American Studies major.  Barahimi studied in Amsterdam and Howard studied in
New York City. 
 
Program eligibility:
All majors and academic disciplines are encouraged to apply.    
    *  Applicants to the HIA Core Programs must be matriculated sophomores,
juniors, seniors, or recent graduates (Classes of 2008 and 2009) at
accredited, four-year colleges or universities in the United States.
    *  Fellows will be selected on the basis of their demonstrated
commitment to minority rights, evidence of leadership potential, and
outstanding academic achievement.
    *  Fellows will be responsible for financing the cost of airfare to
participate in the program. HIA will cover this cost for Fellows with
documented need.
 
Sam Lim, a UW 2008 HIA Fellow stated that --
    "Before HIA, I never really thought critically about human rights and
minority rights issues from around the world that didn't make the front page
of the newspaper. However, the intense seminars, in-depth discussions, and
the experience of engaging these issues first-hand in Germany and Denmark
provided me with one of the most eye-opening summers I've ever had, and in
the process, challenged me to become a more empathetic advocate for a wider
range of human rights while creating great friendships with other university
students from around the United States and across Europe who shared my
passion for social justice." 
 
Application Deadline: Saturday, January 23, 2010. 
Please visit:  http://humanityinaction.org/apply  for complete details.

FEES & EXPENSES:  There is a $25 application fee. For those selected to the
program, HIA pays for accommodation related to its educational programs. In
the 2010 programs, all Fellows will be responsible for financing the cost of
airfare to participate in the program. HIA will cover this cost for Fellows
with documented need.  Although HIA provides a modest food stipend, Fellows
should also plan to bring spending money for food and social activities
during the Fellowship Program (approximately $500).

Breakthrough Institute Seeks Nation's
Top Young Thought Leaders for Paid Summer Fellowship
 
The Breakthrough Institute, a public policy think tank, is seeking up to
ten of the country's top young writers and thought leaders for a paid
fellowship in summer 2009 as part of its young leaders initiative,
Breakthrough Generation.  Fellowships are highly competitive -- in 2008,
10 percent of applicants were accepted -- and involve cutting-edge
writing, research, and analysis on energy/climate, national security,
the economy, health care, and other issues.  Previous Breakthrough
Fellows have published in the Harvard Law & Policy Review, San Francisco
Chronicle, Baltimore Sun, Huffington Post, and Alternet.
 
In 2009, Fellows have a unique opportunity to be closely involved with
the Breakthrough Institute. Over the next year, Breakthrough will work
to seize today's historic moment to establish a new era of progressive
governance that prioritizes major, long-term government investments in
clean energy technology innovation, as well as a new social contract.
But major obstacles lie ahead, including severe economic recession and
an unpredictable global landscape. To seize the moment, our leaders will
need bold ideas backed by sharp thinking and clear analysis.
 
The Breakthrough Institute has a history of reinventing older political
paradigms with big ideas. In 2002, Breakthrough co-founded the Apollo
Alliance and the New Apollo Project for clean energy, which
President-elect Obama recently said is his number one priority alongside
stabilizing the economy. We succeed by tapping cutting-edge progressive
thinking, sharp analysis, and superb communication to create and advance
ideas capable of achieving the broad social and ecological
transformations America and the world need.
 
Fellowships pay $300 per week and are awarded to individuals aged 18-25
who will be closely involved with Breakthrough's high-level work.
Activities and projects include writing short articles and op-eds,
researching and writing policy white papers, and conducting interviews
with the nation's top political and policy experts. Fellows will work 40
hours per week for ten weeks during Summer 2009 from Breakthrough's
central office in Oakland, CA.
 
Breakthrough believes effective political movements emerge out of strong
communities, and Fellows will be encouraged to join a special three-day
camping retreat during the summer, as well as other social events.
Selected Fellows are expected to attend a two-day introduction summit
during a weekend in late April or early May, 2009, for which all travel
expenses will be covered.
 
To apply, submit a cover letter, resume or CV, and three writing samples
to fellowship@thebreakthrough.org.  Applications are due by 5:00PM PST
on March 15th, 2009.  Writing samples should include at least one
op-ed-style piece and one research paper (these do not have to be
published).  Personal recommendations are welcomed but not required.
For more information, contact Teryn Norris at teryn@thebreakthrough.org

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Call for Applications:
The United States believes that peace depends upon building strong foundations of knowledge that bridge nations, enlarge freedoms, and promote democracy.  The U.S. National Commission for UNESCO Laura W. Bush Traveling Fellowship was established in 2008 to enlist young Americans to work toward this end.  The Fellowship provides supplemental funding for applicant designed proposals to conduct brief activities in a foreign country related to the mandate of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) - using education, natural sciences, social and human sciences, culture, and/or communication and information to build strong ties among nations.
 
On September 12, 2002, President George W. Bush addressed the United Nations General Assembly and announced the intention of the United States to return to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), ending nearly a twenty-year absence from the organization, to further help build these foundations.   In February 2003, First Lady Laura Bush was designated by UNESCO as an honorary ambassador, and seven months later Mrs. Bush led the ceremony raising the United States flag at the 32nd UNESCO General Conference, officially marking the return of the United States to UNESCO membership.  It was in the spirit of this dedication to international issues and to furthering human dignity that the U.S. National Commission for UNESCO Laura W. Bush Traveling Fellowship was created.
 
The Fellowship is intended for American college/university students who express an interest in international collaboration but as of yet have not been afforded many opportunities to travel abroad. The length of time for the travel is expected to be between 4 and 6 weeks and should include interaction with individuals from other nations.  More information on the program can be found at: www.state.gov/p/io/unesco/c25462/htm.  Thus far, U.S. National Commission for UNESCO Laura W. Bush Traveling Fellows have traveled to and conducted meaningful work in: Honduras, Guatemala, India, Afghanistan, Dominican Republic, and Kyrgyzstan.
 
The Commission has opened the next call for the Spring/Summer 2009 round of applications for the U.S. National Commission for UNESCO Laura W. Bush Traveling Fellowship for those traveling between May and August 2009.  The deadline for applications will be March 1, 2009 (5:00pm EST).

This program is a wonderful summer fellowship for undergraduates headed into their junior or senior years.  MURAP provides mentoriship and prepares minority students to enter academic graduate programs in the arts, humanities, and social sciences (not for MFAs, MBAs, law school, or medical school).


Moore Undergraduate Research Apprentice Program
 
Announcement of Summer Student Fellowships
 
May 25-July 30, 2009
 
 
 
The Moore Undergraduate Research Apprentice Program (MURAP) is a paid summer fellowship designed to foster the entrance of talented students from diverse backgrounds within the humanities, social sciences, and fine arts into graduate school and faculty positions in U.S. colleges and universities.  More broadly, the program seeks to increase the presence of minorities and others who demonstrate a commitment to eradicating racial disparities in graduate school and eventually in academic ranks.  The program serves the related goals of providing role models for all youth and structuring campus environments so that they will be more conducive to improved racial and ethnic relations.  MURAP aims to achieve its mission by identifying and supporting students of great promise and helping them to become scholars of the highest distinction.
 
Each summer, the program brings a cohort of 18-22 undergraduates (rising juniors and seniors) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill campus for an intensive, ten-week research experience. Students are expected to develop a 20-page research project under the guidance of a university faculty mentor with whom they are paired according to areas of study and research interests. In addition to meeting several times a week with faculty mentors, students will attend weekly seminars where they will present their research and discuss that of faculty and other students in the program, receive required biweekly instruction in preparation for the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), attend biweekly writing workshops, and participate in a variety of informative workshops, social events and conferences designed to expose them to the graduate experience. Participants will submit their final research paper based on their project and must receive approval through the signature of their faculty mentor. For a student to complete the program successfully and receive the entire stipend, participation in all of these activities and completion of the research paper are required.  A sample calendar of required activities and deadlines is available on our website.
 
For their participation in the program, student fellows will receive a generous stipend of $3200 (in the case of students holding Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowships they would receive the difference between their summer stipend and MURAP’s), an allowance for meals of $1450 and travel allowance up to $500 to cover the cost of transportation to and from Chapel Hill.  Additionally, students will be provided on-campus housing at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

History
In 1974, Eugene C. Pulliam, publisher of The Indianapolis Star and The Indianapolis News, The Arizona Republic and The Phoenix Gazette, The Muncie Star Press and The Vincennes Sun-Commercial, created the Pulliam Journalism Fellowship.

Pulliam, who died in 1975, believed that aspiring journalists need more experience and training to prepare them for their first jobs.

As of August 2003, the program will have graduated 492 alumni, more than half of whom remain in the newspaper profession.

Gannett Co. Inc., which bought Central Newspapers in August 2000, sponsors the program. 

About the Program
Join us for the summer of 2009. The Indianapolis Star and The Arizona Republic. Gannett Co. newspapers, are seeking college students and new graduates with a talent for reporting, copy editing, news design and graphics, or photojournalism for an exciting and demanding fellowship program.

(Salaries are based on actual hours worked.) You'll also get to participate in writing workshops and learn over lunch from some of the best minds in journalism. 

Additionally, many former Pulliam Fellows have returned as guest lecturers, including Joseph Hallinan, investigative reporter, Wall Street Journal, and winner of the 1991 Pulitzer Prize winner for investigative reporting; and Jacqui Banaszynski, assistant managing editor for metro and enterprise, The Seattle Times, and winner of the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for feature writing. 

Am I qualified?
College juniors, seniors and graduate students enrolled in a related degree program as of Nov. 1, 2008, are eligible. Previous newspaper internships and/or experience on a college newspaper are preferred. You need to be committed to a career in newspaper journalism. You must have reliable transportation and arrange for your own housing. We are an equal opportunity employer that values diversity.

University of Washington Libraries Research Awards for Undergraduates 2008

Now in its fifth year, the University of Washington Libraries
Undergraduate Research Awards program enables students to submit research
papers to a faculty/librarian review panel for the opportunity to win over
$10,000 in prize money. Papers will be grouped into one of three
categories:  Senior Thesis/Honors Thesis, Senior Non-Thesis, and
Non-Senior. The due date for applications is 5pm on Monday, May 19, 2008.

Last year almost 80 papers were judged, a significant increase over 2006.
Entries to the UW Libraries Undergraduate Awards have grown each year
since its inception. Interest has also mounted among faculty. Basia Belza,
UW Professor of Biobehavioral Nursing and Health Systems observed: "There
is a phenomenal amount of stellar work that is crafted by our students and
they each deserve recognition."

This innovative program has grown so much that other universities have
begun to take notice, making inquiries to the UW Libraries in order to
start their own undergraduate awards competitions.

The Friends of the UW Libraries and the Allen Foundation generously
furnished the funding for the 2008 University of Washington Libraries
Research Awards for Undergraduates.
