]]>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.
This year’s cohort is co-sponsored by the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs to commemorate the 175th anniversary of Douglass’s four-month journey around Ireland. You’ll be based in Dublin and visit other cities where Douglass campaigned, while meeting with government leaders and social justice activists.
This opportunity is offered by CIEE, a student exchange organization whom we partner with. As a next step, start your application at www.CIEE.ORG/FDGF. (If you enter your name and email, you’ll receive updates before the February 14 deadline.) All eligible students who submit an application also qualify for a $1,500 scholarship towards any CIEE summer program.
Questions? Email FDGF@ciee.org, or join CIEE for an information session via Zoom on Thursday, November 12th at 3pm. You may register for that here.

Today's talk is What kids can teach adults about asking for help by YeYoon Kim. Do you need some help?
