Launching the SFER Summer Fellows Program...
The SFER Summer Fellows Program places ten students in exclusive internships with the top leaders in education at gap-closing organizations and schools. Internships will take place over the course of 8-10 weeks in the New York area. Students from any of SFERs campuses are encouraged to apply, and applicants need not be members of SFER. In addition, chapter leaders at confirmed new chapters will have the opportunity to apply. Successful applicants will demonstrate a dedication to public service, a passion for education and the professional skills needed to succeed as a leader of the next generation of education reformers. Potential partner organizations and supporters can learn more here. The online application for SFER Summer Fellows is now live at https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dFB6TGpmTmNiVUUtNl9HLWtYYXlvOXc6MQ. Applicants should complete all components of the application by February 1, 2011.
