The Jane Addams-Andrew Carnegie Fellowship Program advances interest in
public service by engaging recent college graduates in intensive study
and voluntary action. This comprehensive 10-month fellowship program is
designed to benefit recent college graduates as they eventually seek
careers in the nonprofit sector, government or business. The director of
the program is Robert L. Payton, Professor of Philanthropic Studies, and
former U.S. Ambassador, university president, and foundation
president. Program Description The Jane Addams-Andrew Carnegie
Fellowship Program in Philanthropy consists of work and study from
August 15 to June 15 at the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University
in Indianapolis, IN. Fellows receive an introduction to the
philanthropic tradition -- its history and societal role, its ethics and
values, its opportunities and limitations, and its responsibilities.
Time is devoted to formal study and to the practice of philanthropy,
defined at the Center as voluntary action (which includes service,
giving, and association) for the public good. Each Fellow: * Attends
weekly academic seminars with the director * Writes a number of short
papers and major papers to be presented to the seminar based on the
individualized reading program and the internship experience * Works at
a local non-profit organization in the individual's field of interest as
an intern * Meets with visiting scholars, non-profit practitioners, and
community leaders * Attends the introductory course of The Fund Raising
School * Earns 15 graduate academic credits Benefits * Fellows receive a
stipend of $15,000 for the year to assist with housing and living costs
* Tuition and all mandatory fees are waived * All other program-related
costs (e.g., to attend The Fund Raising School and a national
conference) are covered by the Center * The Center provides office space
and limited administrative support * After completing the program, the
Center offers career counseling, referral services and information on
educational programs. Eligibility * To be eligible for the Jane
Addams-Andrew Carnegie Fellowship Program in Philanthropy, a student
must be a recent graduate with a bachelor's degree, or an equivalent
degree from another country, in any academic field. Students who already
have committed to a program of graduate study or who have received
graduate degrees are not eligible. * Candidates with exemplary academic
records (minimum 3.0 average recommended) and those displaying
outstanding leadership potential will be given priority. Members of
minority groups are encouraged to apply. Fellows must be able to spend
the full program period in Indianapolis. Application
