APPLICATION 2009
DEADLINE HAS PAST:
All applications were to be received by 5:00 pm on
Thursday, April 2nd. Applications are no longer accepted

to Laura Johnston.
About the Fellowships:
The Hauser Center for Nonprofit Organizations at Harvard
University seeks to accelerate critical thinking about the
role and leadership of nonprofit and non-governmental
organizations through research, education, and practice. As
part of the Center’s student outreach programs we are
offering summer fellowships of up to $7,000 each for
Harvard University returning students or recent graduates
pursuing non-stipendiary internships in nonprofit
organizations in the United States or NGOs around the world
for summer 2009. The fellowships are open to candidates
from all the schools of Harvard, including undergraduate
and graduate programs. Preference will be given to work in
fields that connect with the work of the Hauser Center and
specifically relevant to the Center’s domains of practice.
Eligibility:
Minimum requirements for the Hauser Center summer
fellowships include:
• Applicants must clearly demonstrate that they have been
offered the internship for which they are applying. This
can be done through the sponsor letter included as part of
your application, or through other supporting
documentation.
• The internship must be full time for a minimum of 8 weeks
at one organization during summer 2009.
• Applicants must be currently enrolled as full-time degree
students at any of the Harvard schools, or have a
graduation date of June 2009.
• The internship must be for a legally-certified nonprofit
entity in the United States or anywhere else in the world
(but must also be legally-certified in whichever country
the organization operates).
Please note:
• This is not an internship placement program. Applicants
are expected to already have an internship offer with a
specific organization.
• These funds are not applicable for summer research. The
fellowship only supports full-time work with the
organization.
