Application Information

The Mickey Leland International Hunger Fellows Program is a two-year commitment, with applications being accepted every other year. The next application cycle is from October 2004 to February 15, 2005.

Potential Fellows apply to work with existing development organizations for two years. The first year, Fellows live in countries in the developing world, and the second year they live in Washington, DC, or in the case of Fellows placed with UN Agencies, in Rome. Because this fellowship is a two-year commitment, and because Fellows are placed in different regions and organizations, it is very important that interested candidates review the posted fellowship descriptions before submitting an application. New descriptions will be posted beginning in September 2004.
