The University of Virginia will host the Ralph Bunche Summer Institute and invites applications from African American students between their junior and seniors years of college. The Institute is designed to introduce 20 students to the world of graduate study and encourage application to Ph.D. Programs. Students will complete two transferable credit courses, one in quantitative analysis and the other on race and American politics.
Students have access to the facilities of the university.
The application deadline is February 1. Juniors and seniors with backgrounds in public and foreign policy issues are encouraged to apply. The James Madison Fellowships are available for students who are planning to teach American history, American government or social studies in grades 9-12. Students may use the funds to pursue an MA in history or political science, an MAT in history or social science, or an MEd with a concentration in History or social studies. Fellows must teach one year for each year of support they receive.
