-- Human Rights Watch fellowship information is available at http://www.hrw.org/about/info/fellows.html

-- Each year, Human Rights Watch awards five Fellowships to recent graduates of law schools or graduate programs (master's and above) in journalism, international relations, area studies, or other relevant disciplines. Fellows work full time for one year with one or more divisions of Human Rights Watch, based in New York City or Washington, DC. Fellows monitor human rights developments in various countries, conduct on-site investigations, draft reports on human rights conditions, and engage in advocacy aimed at publicizing and curtailing human rights violations. Two of the fellowships, the Orville Schell and the Alan R. Finberg Fellowships, are open to recent graduates from any university worldwide at the master's level and above. Three of the fellowships are restricted to graduates of specific schools: the Michael Bloomberg Fellowship, for graduates of graduate programs at John Hopkins University, including the John Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS); the Furman Fellowship, for graduates of New York University School of Law; and the Leonard H. Sandler Fellowship, for graduates of Columbia Law School.
