Prior to my search for the Scoville Fellowship, I was looking for potential career paths
post-Peace Corps service. Prior to my service, I had a particular interest in the field of
conflict resolution; that interest had only increased since my time serving as a Peace
Corps Education Volunteer in Indonesia. I first learned about the Scoville Fellowship
through searching the internet “Best Conflict Resolution Fellowships”. This inquiry led
me to the website “ProFellow”, a website that provides a glossary of different fellowships
geared towards young professionals. A specific article they issued, “15 Fellowships for
Peace Activists, Scholars and Students” lists the Herbert Scoville Jr. Peace Fellowship as
a “highly-competitive” fellowship as well as provides a link to the official Herbert
Scoville Jr. Peace Fellowship’s website.
2. A full curriculum vitae. The c.v. should include complete educational and professional
data, as well as information on the applicant’s extracurricular activities, and should
be no more than two pages.
3. A personal essay of no more than 750 words discussing the candidate’s
qualifications, interests, fellowship objectives and career goals. The essay should
clearly address the candidate’s experience and interest in and passion for the area of
international peace and security, particularly in public education.
4. A policy/opinion essay of no more than 750 words answering the following question:
What is the greatest emerging threat to international peace and security and why?
Applicants should refer to one or more of the issue areas addressed by the
fellowship. Essays must be titled. Candidates may submit a short bibliography that is
not counted against the word limit.
5. Official transcript(s) detailing the candidate’s entire college academic
record including undergraduate, graduate and foreign study in a single
PDF, and listed in chronological order. Candidates whose current courses are
not listed on their transcript are required to submit a list of these courses on a
separate sheet of paper. Applicants who have attended more than one college or
university must submit official transcripts from each school if the grades do not
appear on the transcript of the school from which they graduated. Transcripts should
have the school seal and signature of the registrar but do not need to be mailed in a
sealed envelope. Photocopies of official transcripts are acceptable; web-printed
transcripts lacking the proper seal and signature are not.
6. Two letters of reference. Each letter should address the accomplishments and
standing of the candidate; the candidate’s interest and experience in international
peace and security issues; the candidate’s ability to communicate, both orally and in
writing; the candidate’s maturity and judgment, and the candidate’s potential to
make a significant contribution to peace and security issues. Applicants must not
submit more than two reference letters. Signatures are preferred but not required.
Reference letters must be submitted as an attached Word or PDF document rather
than in the body of the email. Reference letters will not be accepted from members
of the Scoville Fellowship board, staff at a participating organization, or a
current funder, to avoid the conflict of interest.
