Fares Summer Fellowships

The Fares Center provides up to three Fares Summer Fellowships every summer to support Fletcher students who will be doing summer internships or conducting research in the Middle East and North Africa, or on topics related to the region.  

In past summers, the Center provided two-three fellowships in the sum of $2250 each. Click here to read the reports of past summer fellows.
