Aspen Institute Social Innovation Program Invites Applications for Hearst Fellowship for Minority Students

The Aspen Institute Program on Philanthropy and Social Innovation in Washington, D.C., is accepting applications for the Summer 2019 session of its William Randolph Hearst Endowed Fellowship program.

The fellowship, which is based on academic excellence and need, is open to both undergraduate and graduate students of color. The Hearst Fellow serves as an intern with PSI in the Washington, D.C., office of the Aspen Institute. Through the fellowship, PSI seeks to introduce a diverse group of students to issues and challenges affecting philanthropy, social enterprise, nonprofit organizations, and other actors in the social sector. In his or her internship, the Hearst Fellow undertakes research, writing, and logistical and administrative support for PSI's leadership initiatives, public programs, and convenings. Recipients may arrange with their colleges or universities to receive academic credit for this experience.
