Sponsored by USAID
Join the movement to end global hunger!
The Mickey Leland International Hunger Fellowship offers a unique opportunity for aspiring food and nutrition security leaders.
What You’ll Gain:
Professional Experience: Work with leading organizations like CARE, World Vision International, IFPRI, and Helen Keller International.
Leadership Lessons: Over two years, learn from two placements—one in the Global South and another in the Global North—gaining insights into effective international development strategies.
Program Benefits
You receive a stipend based on the cost of living for your two placements.
One resource we use is the MIT living wage calculator. For example, a fellow placed in Washington, D.C., will earn no less than $60,000/year; a fellow placed in Kampala, Uganda, will receive no less than $39,000/year.
You also be eligible for professional development funds during your fellowship and an end-of-service monetary award when you complete the program.
Eligibility
To be eligible to apply, candidates must:
- Have their master’s degree
