Herbert Scoville Jr. Peace Fellowship provides stipends for college graduates to spend six to nine months working for a nonprofit organization in Washington, DC on a range of issues involving nuclear and conventional arms control and disarmament, international security, and related issues. Applications are especially encouraged from candidates with a strong interest in these issues who have prior experience with public-interest activism or advocacy. With the assistance of the Program Director, Fellows will select a placement that best matches their interests and the needs of the host organization. Fall Fellowships run between July and October; Spring Fellowships run from January to April.
Fellows receive a stipend of $3,500 per month and health insurance, plus travel expenses to Washington, DC. The program also provides $1000 per fellow to attend relevant conferences or meetings that could cover travel, accommodations, and registration fees. Some lenders may permit Scoville Fellows to defer college loan payments during their fellowship. Check with your individual lenders.
