The IIPP Fellowship program provides students with specially designed education and training experiences critical to entry and advancement in international affairs careers. Students are recruited from across the nation and apply as sophomores to participate in a five-year sequence of summer policy institutes, study abroad, intensive language training, internships, and graduate study. UNCFSP is aided in the student recruitment effort by its institutional partners and distinguished selection panels comprised of U.S. ambassadors, deans of schools of international affairs, graduate school admissions directors, foundation executives, and IIPP alumni. The IIPP established the Sophomore Summer Policy Institute (SSPI) at Clark Atlanta University’s School of International Affairs and Development in 1995. Each year a new class of fellows begins the program at the eight-week SSPI. The course of study includes International Politics, Research Methods, U.S. Foreign Policy, International Business, Economics, and selected area studies. Fellows who successfully complete the Sophomore Summer Policy Institute participate in the Junior Year Study Abroad component. Fellows may study for one or two semesters at an approved overseas institution. The IIPP provides funding for as much as one-half of the total cost of study abroad, with the unmet half being covered by a combination of government and institutional aid, as well as some reasonable family contribution. Fellows attend the Junior Summer Policy Institute (JSPI) during the summer following the junior year. Those without previously established language competency are required to participate in an intensive language-training program during the summer following their senior year. They are also required to enroll in foreign language courses at their home institutions to lay the foundation for a productive language training experience during the senior summer. Fellows who have established language competency participate in a summer internship experience in lieu of intensive language training during the summer following the senior year. For some who opt to defer graduate school for one year, the internship may span the fall and spring semesters as well. Fellows who successfully complete each component of their respective fellowship sequences are eligible to receive graduate fellowship assistance for a master’s degree in an international affairs-related field. Institutional members of the Association of Professional Schools of International Affairs (APSIA), as partners in the IIPP effort, provide matching fellowship support as available. Applicants must be a sophomore student, enrolled full-time at a four-year institution; be a U.S. Citizen or permanent resident; have a minimum 3.2 grade point average (on a 4.0 scale); have a strong interest in a career in international service, and an underrepresented minority: African American, Hispanic/Latino American, American Indian, Asian American, Alaskan Native, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander.

While in Japan, fellowship recipients will be expected to visit Kobe (Jagakuin) College in Nishinomiya to give a presentation on her/his fellowship topic. The KCC will award fellowships to graduate students who have a record of teaching effectively about Japan, or who show promise to do so in the future. There are no restrictions as to place of study, or age of applicant. Preference will be given to applicants who have documented interest in Japanese studies; such as the arts, culture, education, language, history, journalism, or business. Preference will be given to applicants who have not previously studied or lived in Japan, and to applicants who provide written confirmation of the research or study site in Japan. Applicants must be US citizens. They must also be enrolled, in good standing, in a graduate program at an accredited higher education institution in the US. The fellowship is for teaching/research master's or doctoral degrees only. Students enrolled in professional graduate degree programs are not eligible (i.e., MBA, JD, MD, etc.). Fellowship recipients must plan to teach in the US after completing their degree, either at the secondary or higher education levels. Each application will be evaluated on the following items in order of importance: scholarly excellence of applicant, quality of proposal, quality of preparation to undertake the proposed fellowship plan, plan for teaching upon completion of degree, and demonstrated interest in women's education.
