Study in US: Apply for Wilson Centre Fellowships!

The Wilson Center in Washington DC invited journalists, practitioners, scholars and public intellectuals to participate in the international Fellowship program.

The Wilson Center is offering a 9-month flagship international Fellowship Program. The Center has invited journalists, practitioners, scholars and public intellectuals to take part in the program. The application deadline is October 1, 2024.

The applicant should also submit two letters of reference only by October 18 or postmarked by October 17. Wilson Centre Fellowships offers a stipend of $90,000. It will not cover travel expenses and health insurance.

"If you are submitting online, please ensure that you submit the correct email address for your referees. It is your responsibility to ensure that we receive your references letters. Applications missing reference letters will be considered incomplete," said the official statement.

Interested candidates need to send non-advocacy and policy-relevant proposals addressing the pressing issues of the world. The Fellows will get a chance to interact with the policymakers in Wilson Center staff, Washington, and other scholars. The idea is to unite policymakers with the world's ideas.
