**** AWARD
Award Type: Fellowship
Duration: Two years
Purpose: The purpose of the Institute of Current World Affairs is to provide talented and promising individuals with an opportunity to develop a deep understanding of an issue, country or region outside the United States and to share that understanding with a wider public. The Institute awards Fellowships for a minimum period of two years to young women and men under 36 years of age who demonstrate initiative, integrity, outstanding character, good communications skills, seriousness of purpose and enthusiasm for their chosen fields. In selecting a person, the Institute hopes that the fellow will not only grow personally but will make significant contributions to United States society and to civilization in general. The Institute invests in individuals who have great expectations and shares with them the risk of uncertain consequences. The John O. Crane Memorial Fellowship is for people who are interested in study in East-Central Europe or the Middle East.
