Description

The Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies (PIIRS) invites applications for its Undergraduate Fellowship Program. This competitive fellowship will provide recipients with a grant of up to $7,500 to pursue a project or initiative that promotes collective understanding of other countries and/or that addresses global challenges. Fellows will be part of a cohort that will meet several times throughout the academic year. Professor Rory Truex, director of the PIIRS UG Fellows program, will advise UG fellows on their projects and convene group meetings. The goal of the PIIRS Undergraduate Program is to provide students with the opportunity to build leadership skills and advance regional understanding by creating their own project or initiative. We are open to a range of proposals, including (but not limited to) the following: organizing talks or a conference, creating a documentary film, supporting an international service project, creating a podcast or Youtube channel, or anything else that improves regional knowledge and understanding at Princeton and beyond. Be creative and think big!
