Israel / Palestinian Territories 2008-2009

In one of the most controversial regions today, this program will allow students to immerse themselves in personal and cultural stories and experiencing the daily influences on both sides of this 60 year old conflict. The program will take place in Jerusalem and the surrounding area. Fellows will be responsible for finding an internship of his/her choice in this region.

Fellows will receive a stipend of $ 4,000 provided by former President Jimmy Carter. This funding will cover travel, basic living expenses, and other expenses associated with the internship. Fellows for this program need not apply to other on-campus funding programs; their $4000 funding is guaranteed by the Carter grant.
