Apply Now For The William Randolph Hearst Endowed Fellowship  For Minority Students

Washington, DC  - The Nonprofit Sector Research Fund (NSRF), a subprogram of NSPP, is now accepting applications for the William Randolph Hearst Endowed Fellowship for Minority Students. NSRF previously offered the fellowship each summer, but due to increased endowment will now offer it three times a year. The fellowship, which is based on academic excellence and need, is open to both undergraduate and graduate students who are members of minority groups and are US citizens.

The Hearst Fellow serves as an intern with the Fund. Through this program, the Fund seeks to introduce a diverse group of students to issues relating to philanthropy, voluntarism, and nonprofit organizations. A fellowship grant of between $2,500 and $5,000 will be awarded, depending on the recipients educational level, financial need, and time commitment. Recipients may also arrange with their colleges or universities to receive academic credit for this experience.
