U.S. National Commission for UNESCO Laura W. Bush Traveling Fellowship. This fellowship, whose funding has generously come from a private donation, is intended to help fund proposals by American college students to carry out brief work, about 4 to 6 weeks, in foreign countries on topics related to the mandate of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and that seek to build strong ties among nations. In order to catch University students who may be planning projects for this summer, the deadline for applications is Wednesday, April 23rd at 7pm.

We plan for the Award to be distributed twice per year, once during Spring/Summer and once during Fall/Winter. The value of the fellowship may vary. The expected value in 2008 is $2,500 per fellowship. Info: http://www.state.gov/p/io/unesco/103476.htm
