About

The Center on Women and Public Policy partners with the Global Policy area and the International Fellows Program at the Humphrey School to advance scholarship on international women's human rights and support students concentrating their studies and research in the area.

Grants for International Internships

The Center on Women and Public Policy offers internship stipends. The pupose of the program is to encourage students to work with grassroots feminist organizations that lack the resources to pay an intern; to enhance students' abilities to pursue job placements closely related to their career goals; to provide financial support for students who might otherwise choose to waive the internship requirements; to serve the women's community. Higher stipends are available for international internships to help cover travel costs.
