IIPP
Fellows Program
Administered
by the United Negro College Fund Special Programs Corporation
(UNCFSP), IIPP serves to enhance US national security and global
competitiveness by promoting excellence, international service,
and awareness among a broader, more representative cross-section
of the American citizenry. We prepare a cadre of well-trained,
language proficient minority young people to compete in the global
marketplace. IIPP helps ensure that those entrusted with the affairs
of the United States (foreign as well as domestic) reflect the
diversity that defines us as Americans and confronts us as citizens
of the global village.
With 15 years
of demonstrated excellence as the leading provider of international
affairs and public policy education for underserved minority college
students, IIPP has educated and trained almost 300 International
Affairs Fellows. Our focus is on providing quality education and
practice opportunities to minority students beginning in their
sophomore year of college.
Our unique
combination of short 7-week summer global policy institutes: a
unique study abroad program focusing on global public policy,
service and research; and a pro-active and culturally sensitive
approach to minority education that fosters international service
and non-profit sector leadership provides IIPP with the means
to meet the needs of its diverse students - and help them succeed.
IIPP also provides
outreach, recruitment and technical assistance services, as well
as offering HBCUs and other minority institutions valuable resources
to strengthen their international studies and globalization infrastructures.
