The Herbert Scoville Jr. Peace  Fellowship, established in 1987, is a highly-competitive national fellowship program  that provides college graduates with the opportunity to gain a Washington  perspective on key issues of peace and security. Twice yearly, the Fellowship's  Board of Directors selects a group of outstanding individuals to spend six to  nine months in Washington. Supported by a stipend, the Fellows serve as  full-time junior staff members at the participating organization of their choice. The program also arranges meetings for the Fellows with policy experts.  Many former Scoville Fellows have gone on to pursue graduate degrees in  international relations and related fields and taken prominent positions in the field of peace and security with public-interest organizations, the Federal  Government, and in academia. To date, 125 Fellowships have been awarded.



“My overall experience with the  fellowship was fantastic...It is vital to note that without this fellowship,  my chances of coming to Washington, DC, obtaining  substantive work and finding a means to support myself  were extremely slim…The fellowship not only immediately allowed me to begin  conducting original research on peacekeeping, but  opened the door to an entire community of activists,  policy analysts and researchers. I anticipate this is a  community with which I will continue to interact for years  to come.   When my fellowship ended, I was hired full-time by the Stimson Center. I have the Scoville Fellowship to thank for helping me to get my foot in the door.”

“I'm afraid I'm turning into a Will  Rogers regarding Scoville Fellows - never meeting one I didn't like - but I must  confess that we have had an extraordinary experience with the individuals that  you have sent us during my time with CNS. she most definitely met the very high  standards established by her predecessors, and we are grateful to you and the  Scoville Fellows Program for giving us the opportunity to work with her.”
