Fellowships are not just for academics...
Fellowships are not just for academics - there is a host of opportunities out there from a variety of organisations that can be used to further your skills - or even an idea. Here's a quick gateway to a few of them.
Idealist.org's list of Fellowships
- "On this page you will find descriptions and contact information for a variety of nonprofit and public policy fellowships. At this point, most of these are in the United States.
Leader's Quest Fellowship
- "The LQ Foundation Fellowship Programme awards financial grants to grassroots leaders from charities and other community organisations in the regions in which we operate our Quest programmes, thus increasing the reach of our learning programmes."
This last one is not a fellowship but it is a nice initiative from an interesting organisation:
Step-Up Travel Grant
- $1000: "Identify a specific issue in a developing country that you believe needs greater international attention and advocacy for change" ... "Include in your proposal at least a 10 day travel itinerary that details how you plan to document the issue (photos, journals, video, etc) and a plan for how to increase awareness about the topic once you have returned."
