Kennedy School of Government (KSG) at Harvard University is currently seeking candidates for the 2007-2008 Native American Public Service Fellowship (NAPSF), established to support promising leaders who have demonstrated commitment to matters of concern to Native American tribes, including (but not limited to) tribal self-governance and policy. It will provide one full tuition fellowship and a stipend to enroll in one of the John F. Kennedy School of Government’s Master degree programs, and will require the recipient to be employed in some form of public service directly benefiting Native Americans for a minimum of three years immediately following completion of the Kennedy School degree. A preference will be given in the award of the fellowship to Native American candidates. One of the nine professional graduate schools on the campus of Harvard University, the John F. Kennedy School of Government (KSG) is Harvard University’s public policy and public management graduate school offering graduate degree programs and executive education opportunities. KSG serves as a forum for the training of future local, national, nonprofit, and world leaders, sharing ideas and best practices. It welcomes leaders past, present, and future to its halls as students, faculty, researchers, fellows, and guests creating a unique community of world leadership and public sector impact. Applicants must apply to be admitted to one of the Master degree programs in order to receive the fellowship. NAPSF applicants must submit a resume, proof of tribal enrollment if applicable, and an assay containing particular qualifications and purpose.
