The Herbert Scoville Jr. Peace Fellowship

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, 128 fellowships have been awarded.
