Professional Fellowships

  • Fulbright Scholar program: Fulbright Scholar Programs offer U.S. faculty, administrators and professionals grants to lecture, do research or participate in seminars overseas.
  • Institute for Current World Affairs: Since its founding in 1925, the Institute of Current World Affairs has provided more than 150 young men and women with long-term fellowships in countries throughout the world. They have immersed themselves in foreign cultures, mastered languages, and gained deep national and regional understanding, while pursuing study programs of their own design for at least two years. The Institute aims to foster the growth of such world citizens, who return to the United States to share what they have learned. Institute fellows have been teachers, journalists, archeologists, composers, physicians, economists, business leaders, foresters, artists, political scientists, farmers, chemists, playwrights, bankers, city planners, and novelists. They have gone on to excel in these and other fields, armed with a wealth of experience and knowledge gained during their immersion abroad.
  • Ashoka Fellowships: Ashoka is the global association of the world's learning social entrepreneurs--men and women with system changing solutions for the world’s most urgent social problems. Since 1981, we have elected over 1,800 leading social entrepreneurs as Ashoka Fellows, providing them with living stipends, professional support, and access to a global network of peers in more than 60 countries. With our global community, we develop models for collaboration and design infrastructure needed to advance the field of social entrepreneurship and the citizen sector. Our Fellows inspire others to adopt and spread their innovations - demonstrating to all citizens that they too have the potential to be powerful changemakers.
  • Echoing Green: Echoing Green invests in and supports outstanding emerging social entrepreneurs to launch new organizations that deliver bold, high-impact solutions. Through a two-year fellowship program, they help their network of visionaries develop new solutions to society’s most difficult problems. These social entrepreneurs and their organizations work to solve deeply-rooted social, environmental, economic, and political inequities to ensure equal access and to help all individuals reach their potential. To date, Echoing Green has invested $27 million in seed funding to over 450 social entrepreneurs and their innovative organizations.
  • Food and Society Policy Fellowship: The Food & Society Fellows Program is a project that provides fellowships to professionals in food and agriculture from across the United States, enabling them to inform and shape public policy through creative communications to encourage the expansion of sustainable food systems that promote good health, vibrant communities, and environmental stewardship. Fellows come from many disciplines - chefs, farmers, nutritionists, activists, public health professionals, fishers, policy experts and academics.
