Major Fellowships
James C. Gaither Junior Fellows
The James C. Gaither Junior Fellows program supports one year of service at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington D.C. Junior Fellows provide research assistance to senior associates on international policy issues, participate in meetings with high-level officials, contribute to congressional testimony, and organize briefings attended by scholars, activists, journalists and government officials. Graduating seniors or those who have graduated within the past year and not yet begun graduate study are eligible. Applicants should have strong academic records with substantial coursework in such areas as international affairs, political science, economics, or history. All applicants must be eligible to work in the United States for 10-12 months from September 1 through at least June 30 following graduation. Clemson may nominate only two students. Students in seeking endorsement should contact the OMF in the fall semester to discuss an appropriate timeline to develop their applications.
