Southern Education Foundation Fellowship

Posted by Admin On 12:05:00 PM
The Southern Education Foundation (SEF), www.southerneducation.org, is reaching out to tomorrow’s leaders through the 2015 Southern Education Leadership Initiative. We are seeking outstanding upperclassmen and graduate students to apply for this experiential learning opportunity. We are hoping you can help share the attached announcement about this program with your students, colleagues, and partners to help us with finding the next summer cohort of students to participate in this program. Since 2004, SEF has placed over 185 students in 85 nonprofits and foundations throughout the Southern region focused on providing advocacy, grant-making, policy analysis, research, community organizing, and direct service in education.
Fellows receive:

  • Experience: an opportunity to work for eight weeks in an organization concerned with equity and excellence in education e.g., a policy institution, community-based organization or philanthropic institution;
  • Stipend: a living expense stipend of $4,000 (for undergraduate students), or $4,500 (for graduate students who will have completed at least one term by June 1, 2015);
  • Travel: all airfare/car mileage expenses associated with traveling to and from SEF trainings to summer placement site (assistance also provided by SEF in making travel arrangements);
  • Orientation: training that exposes students to research in the field, stresses the importance of civic engagement, teaches strategies for making change, and provides opportunities to meet and learn from inspiring leaders involved in education policy and practice (attendance required);
  • Fellowship Placement: guidance and supervision provided by seasoned sector leaders to work on challenging research, education policy, and nonprofit program related projects; and
  • Closing Meeting: the opportunity to present their work to their peers, reflect, brainstorm how to take the lessons learned from this experience back to their communities, and become part of a network of emerging leaders in the sector. (Attendance is required).
