The Nonprofit Sector Research Fund (
http://nonprofitresearch.org/ ), a
grantmaking program of the Aspen Institute in Washington, D.C., annually offers
the William Randolph Hearst Endowed Scholarship.
The scholarship, which is based on academic excellence and need, is open to both
undergraduate and graduate students who are members of minority groups. The
Hearst Scholar serves as a summer intern with the fund. Through the program, the
fund seeks to introduce a diverse group of students to issues relating to
philanthropy, voluntarism, and nonprofit organizations. In addition, recipients
may arrange with their colleges or universities to receive academic credit for
the experience.
The ideal candidate for the scholarship is a highly motivated continuing
graduate or undergraduate student from an underrepresented community. The
student must be able to intern for ten to twelve weeks full-time during the
summer at the Washington, D.C., office of the Aspen Institute. All travel and
housing costs must be covered by the student.
A scholarship grant of between $2,500 and $5,000 will be awarded, depending on
the recipient's educational level, financial need, and time commitment.
See the NRSF for complete program information.
