William J. Clinton Fellowship

An integral aspect of the bridge between the United States and India is people-to-people connections that strengthen political, economic and cultural ties. Yet, there are few formal opportunities for Americans to experience the Indians development space and learn about it first-hand. The Clinton Fellowship offers young Americans the chance to serve with Indian NGOs for a period of 10 months. Candidates must meet the following basic criteria:

  • Citizen/ permanent resident of the United States
  • Be between the ages of 21 and 35 on September 1, 2010
  • Have completed an undergraduate degree prior to September 1, 2010

      • For more information visit the American India Foundation.
