2007-2008 Undergraduate Fellowship on Terrorism with the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies

The FDD Undergraduate Fellowship on Terrorism provides a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to study the issue of international terrorism in Israel and Washington, DC. The all-expenses paid, comprehensive fellowship includes academic lectures by top level government officials, military personnel, and academic experts from around the world and travel to high-level security installations and tourist destinations in both countries.

The 2006-2007 fellowship class met with individuals such as the former Chief of Global Operations at Mossad, the Assistant Foreign Policy Advisor to the Israeli Prime Minister, and the US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Affairs. Fellows also visited the West Bank, the top-secret training facilities of the undercover Israeli Boarder patrol, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the FBI training facilities. Fellows also visited Masada, the Dead Sea, the National Mall.

During the 2007-2008 year, Fellows will be responsible for organizing a series of events designed to educate the campus community about the threats posed by international terrorism and the need to defend democracy. One of the events will be a September 11th Memorial Service.

Students in all fields of study are encouraged to apply and must be planning on attending on their home campus for the entire 2007-2008 academic year (Fellows may not study abroad during their tenure as such). The application is due April 13th. Those selected will be notified by April 20th. For additional information please visit www.defenddemocracy.org.  For an application please click here.
