02-23-2001: Summer Fellowship in NGO Law
The International Center for Not-for-Profit Law (ICNL) is offering summer fellowships to lawyers, law students, and civil society specialists from Central and Eastern Europe interested in NGO law. There are three possible venues for this fellowship:
ICNL - Washington, DC. There are three openings for fellows to work in ICNL’s Washington, DC office during the month of August 2001. ICNL will provide airfare, housing, and a modest but adequate stipend.
ICNL - Budapest. There are two openings for fellows to work in ICNL’s Budapest office for up to three months this summer. ICNL will provide a stipend of $1,500. Each fellow will be responsible for his or her own housing and travel expenses.
ICNL – Almaty. There is also the possibility of a fellowship in our Almaty office. Although ICNL has not yet identified funding for this fellowship, ICNL will work with prospective applicants to secure outside funding.
Interested candidates should apply by submitting the following:
- A curriculum vitae in English,
- A writing sample (no longer than five pages), and
- A statement of purpose, detailing:
- Desired location,
- Statement of past experience on issues relevant to NGO law, and
- Statement of specific ways in which the candidate plans to continue work on issues of NGO law in his/her own country after the fellowship. Fellows may also propose a specific research topic for the fellowship, or may request to work generally on ICNL’s projects in the region.
