Global Health Fellows Program on Health Policy and Governance

The Program on Global Policy and Governance prepares tomorrow’s policy leaders to deal with the policy and institutional issues at the heart of international governance.

The Program is intended for graduate students from the US and other countries aiming at an international career. It includes a Geneva Policy Internship, a common Workshop on Global Governance, and a choice of three courses on Health Policy in a Globalizing World, International Humanitarian Issues, and Globalization and the Future of Multilateral Trade, as well as a range of extracurricular activities.

The Program offers students unparalleled access to Geneva-based institutions, opportunities for career advancement, and a chance to think about the international system today and what it could become.

 It is run in conjunction with Duke University, and takes place in Geneva.

 NOTE: Applications are due on 28 November 2005.

David L Boren Graduate Fellowships:  National Security Education Program

http://nsep.aed.org/boren

DEVELOPING THE NATION'S INTERNATIONAL CAPACITY...

The National Security Education Program (NSEP) David L. Boren Graduate Fellowships enable U.S. graduate students to add an important international and language component to their education through specialization in area study, language study, or increased language proficiency. Boren Fellowships support students pursuing the study of languages, cultures, and world regions that are critical to U.S. national security but are less frequently studied by U.S. graduate students (i.e., areas of the world other than Western Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand), and who are highly motivated by the opportunity to work in the federal government. It is hoped that recipients of Boren Fellowships will comprise an ever-growing cadre of experts whose enriched educational and professional experiences will enable them to provide leadership and direction in our national commitment to economic growth, international peace and security, and the promotion of democracy abroad. The Academy for Educational Development (AED) considers it a distinct pleasure to serve as the administrative agent for this important program.
