The Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society's Senior International Fellows Program provides an opportunity for the professional development of Third-Sector practitioners from outside the United States who are decision-makers in their professions. The program is designed to help build Third-Sector capacity in the Fellows' home countries.
Fellows will participate in a 1-month seminar on the U.S. and international voluntary sectors. The program will run from October 15, 2006 through November 11, 2006. Based on the seminars, readings, discussions with leaders in the field, and the Fellows' own experiences, each Fellow will produce a position paper with recommendations for the development, adaptation or expansion of community foundations, or on corporate or diaspora philanthropy in his/her country or region. It is expected that these recommendations will draw from the variety of experiences of community and other foundations and will reflect the political, social, economic, and legal frameworks in the Fellows' home countries.
Each fellowship covers the cost of tuition and includes a $1,300 stipend to cover living expenses. The Center will also provide accommodations proximate to The Graduate Center on 34th Street, as well as round-trip air tickets for travel to and from the United States.
Tuition-based appointments may also be made, pending approval by the selection committee. Tuition information is available upon request.
