Humanity in Action Fellowship
Application deadline in February (application will be available in October). Sophomores, juniors and seniors are welcome to apply.
Humanity in Action (HIA) programs are designed to promote and facilitate an ongoing trans-Atlantic dialogue about the challenges that democratic societies encounter as they experience new degrees and forms of diversity. The goal is to reinforce the HIA Fellows' commitment to democratic values and human rights; to encourage American and European students to become leaders in these fields; and to foster a growing international community bound together by these commitments. HIA offers two Summer Core Programs: the European Summer Core Programs on diversity and democracy in Denmark, France, Germany, The Netherlands, and Poland; and the American Summer Core Program on diversity in America, held in New York. During the core program, the Fellows will develop plans for engaging human rights or minority issues in their home institutions or communities. After the core program, HIA supports Fellows’ continuing involvement in minority and human rights issues through prestigious national and international internships, a trans-Atlantic professional network, and Senior Fellows Associations in the United States and Europe. The foundation looks for those who are flexible, mature, self-reliant and comfortable with intense constant group activities and interaction.
