What is the Frederick Douglass Global Fellowship?
The Frederick Douglass Global Fellowship honors the legacy of the abolitionist and statesman with a fully funded summer study abroad program focused on leadership, activism, and cross-cultural understanding. Fellows for this prestigious award will be selected based on their academic achievement, communication skills, commitment to social justice, and demonstrated service to others.
Where will the Fellows go?
This year’s cohort is co-sponsored by the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs to commemorate Douglass’s four-month journey around Ireland in 1845. The Fellows will be based in Dublin and travel to other cities where Douglass campaigned. Check out this video for highlights from the 2021 program.
How do students apply?
We invite applications from first-, second- or third-year students with a minimum GPA of 3.0 from ethnic backgrounds typically underrepresented on study abroad programs. As part of CIEE’s mission to increase access, all eligible students who submit a qualified application automatically earn a $1,500 scholarship toward any CIEE summer 2022, fall 2022, or spring 2023 program.
The application is online and due on February 14, Frederick Douglass’s birthday. Please visit ciee.org/FDGF for details.
