William
Randolph Hearst Endowed Fellowship for Minority Students
The fellowship,
which is based on academic excellence and need, is open to both
undergraduate and graduate students of color. The Hearst Fellow
serves as an intern with NSPP. Through this fellowship, NSPP seeks
to introduce a diverse group of students to issues relating to
philanthropy, volunteerism, and nonprofit organizations. Recipients
may arrange with their colleges or universities to receive academic
credit for this experience.
The Aspen Institute's
Nonprofit Sector and Philanthropy Program seeks to improve the
effectiveness of nonprofit organizations and philanthropy through
research, leadership, and communication initiatives.
In his or her internship,
the Hearst Fellow undertakes general research and program support
for the Fund’s grantmaking and outreach efforts.
The ideal candidate
for this fellowship is a highly motivated continuing graduate
or undergraduate student from an underrepresented community. She
or he should have an excellent academic record and also have the
following: Outstanding research skills; Demonstrated interest
or experience in the nonprofit sector; Excellent writing and communication
skills; Demonstrated financial need; and American citizenship.
The student must be
able to intern for 10-15 weeks at the Washington, DC, office of
the Aspen Institute. We generally expect that Fall and Spring
internships will be part-time (10-20 hours per week) and Summer
internships will be full-time. All travel and housing costs must
be covered by the student.
