Heinz fellowships to students from developing countries who wish to pursue a master’s degree and demonstrate potential as future leaders in the public, government, non-profit, or private sectors. The Fellowship is a one to two year position. It covers support in the form of a living stipend of $20,000 (paid in monthly installments)

Eligibility Requirements:

• Applicants must have been admitted to a master’s program at the University of Pittsburgh in either the Graduate School of Public Health (GSPH), the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs (GSPIA), the School of Law, the School of Education, or the School of Nursing. Once admitted, the department or school will then nominate the student for a fellowship with the Global Studies Center (beginning the academic year for which they seek the Heinz Fellowship)
• Applicants must have completed an undergraduate university degree.
• Applicants must be proficient in speaking, reading and writing English.
• Preference will be given to applicants in the early or mid-stages of their career.

4.Upon completion of the Heinz Fellowship program, Fellows are required to submit a final report describing and evaluating the full range of their activities and experiences during the Fellowship, as well as their plans upon return to their home country. These reports are subsequently distributed to program officials at the University of Pittsburgh and to representatives at the H.J. Heinz Company Foundation. The reports are also used as references for incoming Fellowship recipients.
