Hope Fellowships
The Hope Fellowship Program allows individuals with a deep commitment to the protection of women and children to make a significant difference in the world. Hope Fellows are typically law students, graduate students or professionals who demonstrate an understanding of human rights and work in fields related to law, public policy, marketing, media, victim services or academia. However, all fields of expertise are welcome. Special exceptions can be made for motivated undergraduate students. Fellowships usually last from three months to one year. The Hope Fellowship Program is research intensive. The scope and nature of projects are determined on an individual basis, taking into account the talents and interests of the candidate and the needs of Shared Hope International.
