U.S. Latino Leadership Fellowship
One of the many fellowships offered through the Center for
Public Leadership at the Kennedy School is the U.S. Latino Leadership
Fellowship.
The fellowship brings together a diverse and talented group
of emerging leaders who are committed agents of
transformation in underserved communities in the U.S.
U.S. Latino Leadership Fellows have addressed disparities in
their communities through efforts in public policy, education, economic
development, health care, immigration, social entrepreneurship, and a variety
of other fields.
The fellowship provides:
- Full tuition scholarship, health insurance fees, and a living stipend for a master’s degree program at Harvard Kennedy School.
- A comprehensive co-curricular leadership development program set within the Harvard ecosystem—a robust network of faculty, students, and opportunity.
- Engagement with mentors and highly accomplished leaders who will enhance your ability to impact the communities you serve.
Eligibility:
To apply for this fellowship, you must first apply to one of the Kennedy School’s master’s degree programs. After applying to HKS, you can apply for the fellowship through the HKS Financial Assistance application, which will be available later this fall.
The fellowship is open to all admitted master’s degree program students at
Harvard Kennedy School. Domestic students from underrepresented groups with an
interest in business, medicine, law, education, and public health are
encouraged to apply.
Applicants are considered based on their leadership
potential and demonstrated interest and work in reducing disparities in Latino
and other underserved communities in the U.S. Successful candidates will also
demonstrate excellent academic credentials.
