Description
The Fellowship was established in 2017 and covers all costs for 16 outstanding students, of a race or ethnicity typically underrepresented in study abroad, to participate in a four-week study abroad program focused on leadership, intercultural communication, and advancing social justice. Ireland’s Department of Foreign Affairs will co-sponsor the 2022 Frederick Douglass Global Fellows in Ireland, to honor the 175th anniversary of the meeting between 27-year-old abolitionist Frederick Douglass and the Irish reformer Daniel O’Connell in Dublin in 1845. The sixth cohort of Fellows will be based in Dublin and follow in Douglass’s footsteps with visits across the country in summer 2022. All qualified applicants will receive $1500 towards any CIEE program for the next academic year so it is well worth student’s time to apply for the Fellowship.
