Application

The application must be completed online. You may review the full list of questions before starting.

The application includes:

Describe your academic and professional goals, including what led you to these goals, how you have worked to achieve them thus far, and how you plan to achieve them moving forward.
Tell us about a time when you’ve had to navigate uncertainty. What did you learn about yourself that you might use for the future? You may consider past school, work, internships, or volunteer experiences.
Describe a development challenge or project that you have studied or taken part in firsthand that you believe had a significant impact. What lessons do you take from this example, and how would they shape your approach to effective development work?

Identify up to five current or past jobs, internships, volunteer activities, or clubs that are most relevant to this fellowship.

Email your most recent transcript to NextGen@iie.org. If you are in your first semester at your current university, and a transcript will not be available by May 8, send a current class schedule along with your prior university’s transcript.

Letters should be academic or professional in nature. Your recommender should be able to speak to your interest in and abilities to participate in an international internship or service-learning program.
Your recommender should email the letter, from their work email address, to NextGen@iie.org. Ask if they are willing to copy you when they send the letter, as IIE may not be able to confirm receipt of all recommendations.
IIE will only accept and review one letter of recommendation per applicant. While optional, this letter will strengthen your application.
