Miller Center Fellowship
Miller Center Fellowship (fka Global Social Benefit Fellowship) provides a comprehensive program of mentored, field-based study and action research for juniors within the Miller Center Accelerator program alumni network of social entrepreneurs.. The fellowship combines a fully funded 6-8 week summer field experience in the developing world with two quarters of academically rigorous research. It is a program of practical social justice, in the Jesuit educational tradition. This is a richly rewarding yet demanding experience, one that requires a time-intensive, nine month commitment. Each fellow will receive a support package to cover all international travel, in-country expenses, and research costs, plus a modest summer stipend.
