The
Human Rights Program is pleased to announce the 2012 competition for
the Dr. Aizik Wolf Post-Baccalaureate Fellowship in Human Rights. Born
in Bogota, Colombia, Dr. Aizik Wolf, AB ’77, practices neurosurgery in
Miami and regularly donates medical services and equipment to projects
in Latin America. He created this post-baccalaureate fellowship to help
University of Chicago College students launch their careers in human
rights and related fields of social justice activism.
The
fellowship award will fund one year of work, after graduation, at a
non-governmental organization, government agency, or international body
dedicated to human rights. The award consists of a $24,000 stipend for
12 months of full-time work, with some additional support for travel
and/or relocation expenses. The student must submit a letter of support
from the intended organization as part of the application. Priority
will be given to students who have previously completed a University of
Chicago Human Rights Program Internship and who propose returning to
their previous organization or area of work. However, other College
seniors with comparable experience are encouraged to apply. Applicants
must have completed at least two Human Rights courses at the University
of Chicago prior to their application. Only currently enrolled students
in the College of the University of Chicago are eligible to apply.
Applications are due Monday, January 9, 2012, by 5:00 pm. Submissions should be emailed to Program Manager Sarah Patton Moberg at spmoberg@uchicago.edu.
Requirements:
- Dr. Aizik Wolf Fellowship application form
- Resume;
- 3 letters of recommendation from faculty or previous supervisors or employers; and,
- a letter of support from the proposed host organization. (Letters of support can be submitted in hard copy sent directly to HRP office or by email to spmoberg@uchicago.edu)
