Student Programs
Overview
The Center for International Development cultivates and supports interest in international development at all academic levels. Toward this end, we offer seminar series, travel grants, and special events throughout the year for students across the University. Offerings include:
Seminars
CID Graduate Student Luncheon Seminar Series: Each Friday during the semester, CID hosts the Graduate Student Luncheon Seminar, where academics and practitioners of development from various disciplines and organizations speak on current development issues, followed by a question and answer session. The core audience is masters-level students at the Harvard Kennedy School (HKS), although all students are welcome. Students are encouraged to play an active role in selecting and inviting the seminar speakers.

Summer Internship Funding
The Harvard International Development Internship Fund (HIDIF) awards modest grants on a competitive basis to first-year HKS students who undertake summer internships on development projects in developing countries (other than their home country). Internships must be full time for at least eight weeks at one organization in order to be eligible for the HIDIF.
Application deadline for Summer 2012 Funding is Friday March 23rd.
Applications must be submitted via the HKS Summer Common Application Form. Click here to go to that form.
Working Papers
All Harvard graduate students and postdoctoral fellows affiliated with CID are invited to submit their papers on international development with prior approval from a CID faculty associate. Papers should be job-talk papers and/or papers accepted for presentation at competitive conferences. Drafts of dissertation papers are not accepted, unless they satisfy previously stated criteria.
