The Herbert Scoville Jr. Peace
Fellowship is a highly-competitive national program that provides college
and grad school
graduates the opportunity to work in Washington, DC, with one of more
than two dozen participating public-interest organizations focusing on
international security issues. The program has awarded 154 fellowships
since its inception in 1987 and is offered twice
yearly, in the spring and fall. It lasts from six to nine months and
provides a salary, health insurance, and travel costs to Washington. The
Scoville Fellowship does not award grant or scholarship money to
students.
Scoville Fellows may undertake a variety of activities, including research, writing, public education, and advocacy in support of the goals of their host organization and may attend coalition meetings, policy briefings, and Congressional hearings. Fellows have written articles, blogs, fact sheets, letters to the editor, op-eds and reports, organized talks and conferences, and been interviewed as experts by the media. Former Scoville Fellows work for U.S. and international NGOs, the Departments of Defense, Energy, State, and Treasury, members of Congress, academia, and media, and attend graduate school in political science or international relations, following their fellowships.
If you are interested in peace and security issues visit www.scoville.org for more information. The Scoville Fellowship is a small organization and we lack the resources to send staff to college career fairs and to post jobs on individual university websites. Although the majority of Scoville Fellows have received college degrees in political science, government, international relations, history, or peace studies, we do not require a specific major. Application requirements are listed on our website, as are links to the websites of each of the participating groups and information on the work of current and former Scoville Fellows. The next application deadline is January 5, 2015 for the fall 2015 fellowship, which will begin between July 15 and October 1.
All U.S. citizens, as well as non-U.S. citizens living in the U.S. who have an appropriate work permit, are eligible to apply; foreign nationals living outside the United States are not.
