Ready to change the world? Apply for the Frederick Douglass Global Fellowship, a full scholarship to study abroad with a cohort of student leaders from around the country. The Frederick Douglass Global Fellowship was founded to empower students of color with a transformative experience abroad, much like Frederick Douglass was inspired by his travels. All program fees are covered, as well as airfare. Brielle Smith, a Fellow from 2021, summarizes the program in this 45 second video. We invite applications from 1st, 2nd or 3rd year students, with a GPA of 3.0 or above, from ethnic backgrounds typically underrepresented on study abroad programs. The application is online and due on February 14, Frederick Douglass’s birthday. As part of our commitment to expanding access to an international education, CIEE offers a $1500 Frederick Douglass Scholars Grant towards any in-person CIEE summer 2022, fall 2022 or spring 2023 program to all applicants who submit an application and meet all eligibility requirements but are not selected for the Fellowship. Additionally, Pell grant recipients can receive a $500 travel grant for airfare.
