CPGC Summer Fellowship: Remote International Summer Research
Application Deadline: Sunday, February 28 at 11:59 p.m. EST

Self-designed internships provide students with a chance to get creative and focus on their particular interests in collaboration with individuals, groups and/or organizations based within the United States or around the world. Students sometimes build upon previous internships or volunteer engagements, and sometimes intern with organizations in their home communities. Students pursuing this option are required to be welcomed into the work by the organization, and must provide a letter of invitation.
The CPGC prefers to fund research that is related to a senior thesis. However, if there is a strong need to pursue research related to another stream of studies, students are welcome to present their ideas in a meeting with the relevant program manager. Students who have received funding in the past have noted that the experience greatly enhanced their understanding of the issues they were investigating and significantly enriched their thesis work.
CPGC research internships take a variety of forms, from archival research towards a senior thesis to participatory action research with social change activists. We have found that those students who base their research with NGOs or teams of academics actively pursuing research have a more productive and positive experience than those whose proposals are only for archival research.
CPGC Summer Fellowship Program:
The CPGC supports a robust range of community-focused summer internships through its Fellowship program, which widens and deepens connections with social change organizations around the world. Fellowships encourage a collaborative approach between students and community organizations to address social justice, human rights, and environmental issues. Each fellowship provides students with funding to support their participation and includes preparatory programming, a remote summer internship, and a re-entry course.
Students can contact Steph Zukerman with questions or for advising support.
