EDMUND BURKE FELLOWSHIP
Call for Applicants

The Edmund Burke Fellowship places talented graduate students on the front lines of the pro-life fight at the United Nations. 

The program brings students of international law and policy to UN headquarters in New York City for an intense week of practical study. Students will gain firsthand knowledge from UN delegates, scholars, and experts during lectures and meetings.

The program takes place during the first full week of January (January 6-10 for the year 2014). The Edmund Burke Fellowship covers travel and lodging expenses.

In order to become Edmund Burke Fellows participants must complete a 2500 word essay on a topic covered during the program. The essay may be published by C-FAM. Students who complete the program successfully are awarded a grant of $500.
