AmericanScholarship - Update on Scholarships in America

The Compton Foundation created the Mentor Fellowship Program (with a stipend of up to $36,000 per fellow, some significant portion will go to the fellow’s mentor) to promote the creativity and support the commitment of graduating seniors as they move beyond academic preparation to focus on continuing “real world” application and contribution. The fellowship is intended to be for one year, begun as soon after graduation as is feasible.

The Compton Mentor Fellowship Program welcomes innovative projects that focus on environment and sustainable development, or connect environmental concerns with peace and conflict resolution, or population and family planning issues. Proposed fellowship projects should reflect a candidate’s genuine interest in, and commitment to, a specific concern. In sum, the project should be personally meaningful, of significant social merit and sustainability. Identification of a mentor and/or supporting organization is essential.
