The H.J. Heinz Company Foundation
Fellowship is managed by the Global Studies Program at the University of
Pittsburgh’s University Center for International Studies. It provides
fellowship for individuals from developing countries annually
during which fellows are provided with “one year of practical,
professional, and non-degree educational experiences through the
University of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, USA.”
“The goal is to improve, early in a career, the fellows’ capacity to contribute to the development of their country and to enhance their understanding of the United States. This is accomplished through a year of sitting in on selected courses and participating in practical professional activities while based in Pittsburgh. Upon acceptance of their final report, fellows will receive a program certificate from the University Center for International Studies. This is non-degree program. Courses are observed on an informal basis, and do not earn credit towards any academic degree.”
“Fellows will receive a living stipend of $18,000 (paid in monthly installments), mandatory health insurance, round-trip transportation to and from Pittsburgh, and a $2,000 program and professional activities fund.”
