Fellowship placements should involve 30 - 40 hours work per week and should have a duration similar to that of a Dartmouth term. It is preferable that the agency be small and manageable, or that within a larger agency, the candidate's prospective placement area be small. By Federal law, lobbying projects are excluded from our funding. Direct service work in association with religious groups is encouraged, especially when applicants wish to explore spiritual issues or to explore or witness personal faith through service to others within that placement. Fellowships may not be for the purpose of direct evangelism.
Fellowships are to be designed for leave terms only.
We require students to return to Campus for at least one term between completion of the Fellowship and their graduation. Students must be willing to share their Fellowship experiences upon their return, usually through small group presentations, writing articles for The Dartmouth, or by making the written Fellowship paper available to others to read.
