2009 HIA Summer Fellowship Program

2009 HIA Summer Fellowship Programs

I am writing to inform you that the application deadline for Humanity in
Action's (HIA) 2009 summer fellowship programs is coming up on February
12th. The HIA Fellowship brings together university students from the United
States and Europe for a rigorous, interdisciplinary inquiry into human
rights, diversity, and minority issues. Students participate in the
five-week fellowship in one of six different countries: Denmark, France,
Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, or the United States. Upon completing the
fellowship, Fellows join an active international network of young
professionals and are eligible for internship opportunities at the United
States Congress, European Parliament, International Criminal Tribunal for
the former Yugoslavia, and other civic and political institutions. HIA will
select 56 matriculated sophomores, juniors, and seniors from American
colleges and universities to participate in these five-week programs. Recent
university graduates (May 2007 or later) are also eligible to apply. HIA
selects its Fellows on the basis of their demonstrated commitment to
minority rights, evidence of leadership potential, and outstanding academic
achievement. To ensure participation of all qualified students, HIA pays the
full cost related to its educational programs. I hope you agree that this is
a wonderful opportunity for students from your institution and that you will
distribute the enclosed program materials liberally. HIA's online
application is available at humanityinaction.org/apply/us.
