Fellowship for Service work abroad: Wallenberg Fellowship application now available!

Raoul Wallenberg International Summer Travel Fellowship
 
About the Fellowship:

In the spirit of Raoul Wallenberg’s experience at Michigan, the Raoul Wallenberg International Summer Travel Fellowship will allow selected students to take part in a community service project or civic participation anywhere in the world. The fellowship will support such experiences as, for instance, volunteer work with a humanitarian organization such as a school, clinic or aid program, or the exploration of humanitarian issues not well understood in the US. Projects should be at least four weeks in duration and take place outside of the U.S. between May and August of the current application cycle. Several fellowships will be made for summer 2012, each in the amount of up to $5000 to cover transportation, room and board, and local excursions made in connection with the project. At least one fellowship will go to an undergraduate student and at least one to a graduate student.

The application deadline is February 24, 2012
