UK Selected As University Partner For New International Service Fellowship

The University of Kentucky has been selected as one of a small number of university partners for a new international service fellowship launched by the Rockefeller Foundation and administered by the Institute for International Education (IIE). 

The NextGen Service Fellowship program will provide funding for 50 U.S. college students from one of the 10 U.S. partner universities to gain hands-on experience in international development while addressing the needs of vulnerable communities overseas. This fellowship aims to inspire and equip the next generation of American public service leaders through immersive, hands-on experience working in and with communities around the world, including Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean.  

The program is for students who are U.S. citizens who have an interest in pursuing a career in a humanitarian or development field. It is restricted to those aged 21 or over who have demonstrated academic merit, leadership and responsibility and flexibility and adaptability.
