and social change through the nonprofit
sector as well as provide graduate students
learning experience in the field of philanthropy.
The intent of the fellowship program is
to increase scholarly research of foundation’s
priorities and to increase representation
of students of color who can offer such
expertise.

| Objectives:
The Graduate Fellowship on Philanthropy
and Human Rights seeks to foster an interdisciplinary
and cross-cultural community of professionals
and students committed to social change.
It addresses issues of human rights and
justice, shelter and housing, health disparities
and resources, and organizational effectiveness
within nonprofits. Research on such focus-areas
involves collaboration with local nonprofits
and integrating fellowship research with
academic objectives. Accompanying research
will involve seminars coordinated by HECUA
meeting with scholars, policy makers and
activists addressing contemporary issues
and developments around focus areas. |
