The Herbert Scoville Jr. Peace Fellowship was established in 1987 to recruit and train the next generation of policy and advocacy leaders on a range of international peace and security issues.   This is a highly competitive fellowship designed for people who have already demonstrated a strong interest in the field, and not intended for those who want to try a semester in Washington. Successful candidates must be good writers who are adept at working in a fast paced office environment. We are seeking people considering a career working on international peace and security issues with public-interest organizations, the Federal Government, academia, or media.    The fellowship’s board of directors selects the top applicants for Washington interviews. The fellowship pays for travel and accommodations for the finalists during the interview weekend. Interviews take place approximately 10-12 weeks after the application deadline. All unsuccessful applicants will be notified at that time.   This fellowship is extremely competitive; candidates who do not submit all required documents on time are unlikely to be selected for an interview.

The start date for the Fall 2023 fellowship is July 15 to October 1, 2023.
