| Center
for Global Intiatives Internship Award (formerly
University Center for International Studies - UCIS)

These awards are intended to advance
the academic and professional careers of students who
have secured internationally-focused internships. Students
must have secured their internship before applying for
this award. Upon completing the internship and returning
to UNC, students should build the internship experience
into their academic experience. And, ideally, upon graduation,
students land a job with the organization.
The Center for Global Initiatives is currently focusing
particular attention on four themes and encourages
proposals that address one or more of these themes:
1) Peace and Conflict Resolution, 2) Global Health,
3) Migration, Citizenship and Identity, and 4) the
Globalization of the American South.

| Mahatma
Gandhi Fellowship |
The Mahatma Gandhi Fellowship
was established in 1998 by a group of students in Sangam,
a South Asian awareness group at the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill, who sought to create a unique
new educational opportunity for their fellow students
at UNC. The Fellowship awards two students each year
up to $3000 to execute a project of their own design
that benefits South Asians in some way, whether it is
through direct service or increasing awareness of South
Asian culture and issues. There is no restriction on
where the project is undertaken nor on the exact nature
of the project, just that it apply to South Asian issues
in some way. All full-time students at UNC-Chapel Hill
are welcome to apply.
