created by a former Scoville Fellow
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.”
