CHCI's Graduate & Young Professional Fellowship Program
www.chci.org
CHCI's Graduate & Young Professional Fellowship Program offers unparalleled exposure to experience in the underserved public policy areas of health, housing, international affairs and law.
CHCI is also aggressively moving to provide opportunities for young Latinos who are interested in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. Recently, CHCI announced its partnership with the Latino STEM Consortium to ensure that Latino youth will have opportunities to pursue internships, fellowships, and even a career working in the STEM industry in Washington, DC.
The fellowship is open to applicants with a graduate degree from an accredited educational institution or equivalent three years professional experience in a chosen policy field. This competitive program is comprised of a nine-month fellowship including a substantive work placement at a legislative subcommittee office, federal agency, national non-profit advocacy organization, or corporate office. The International Affairs Fellowship includes three months abroad in Mexico from February to April. Travel, health insurance and $2,700 monthly stipend are provided. The Graduate & Young Professional Fellowship Program application deadline is February 19, 2010.
With more than $1 million in need-based scholarships awarded to Hispanic students since 2001, CHCI's Scholarship Program is available to undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in a two-four year accredited college or university. Students pursing an associate's degree may apply for a grant in the amount of $1,000; $2,500 for bachelors candidates; $5,000 for graduate students. The Scholarship Program application deadline is April 16, 2010.
To be eligible, all program applicants must be U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents, be a graduate or undergraduate student with remarkable leadership potential, and have demonstrated a vast history and commitment to community and public service.
