Stanford Summer Fellows are former prime ministers and presidential advisers, senators and attorney generals, journalists and civic activists, academics and members of the international development community. Since the program was introduced in 2005, we have typically received more than 800 applications each year.Applicants should go to: http://cddrl.stanford.edu/fellowships/summerfellows/ or click on the program announcement below for more detailed information.Thank you for joining us in the mission to further knowledge and democratic empowerment in the places where they are most needed and deserved.Regards,
