The Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) has just announced the launch of the Sheila C. Johnson Leadership Fellowship to bring to the Kennedy School each year ten emerging leaders dedicated to improving the lives of the underserved in the United States, including those in the African-American community. As we seek to recruit our inaugural cohort, I am writing to ask your help in getting the word out and encouraging bright young individuals who fit this description to apply to the Kennedy School by December 4, 2013! The Sheila C. Johnson Leadership Fellowship will provide a full tuition scholarship, a living stipend, and a comprehensive co-curricular program administered through the School’s Center for Public Leadership to ten promising, diverse leaders each year. It would be open to all admitted degree program students at the Harvard Kennedy School, with domestic students from underrepresented groups encouraged to apply, including students interested in areas such as business, medicine, law, education, and public health. Applicants will be considered based on demonstrated interest in developing leadership skills with a focus on reducing disparities in African American and other underserved communities, as well as academic credentials and understanding of diverse environments. To apply for the 2014-2015 academic year, prospective candidates will have to complete two steps: · First, apply to the Harvard Kennedy School by December 4, 2013 · Second, apply for the fellowship by February 27, 2014 To learn more about how to apply to the Harvard Kennedy School, click here: hks.harvard.edu/degrees/admissions To learn more about the Sheila C.
