A fully financed fellowship, the Reagan-Fascell Democracy Fellowship 2024, will allow activists, journalists, leaders of civil society, and academics from all around the globe to spend 5 months living at the National Endowment for Democracy (NED). Fellows are given the opportunity to do independent study on regional or national democratic trends via the exchange program in Washington, D.C. The International Forum for Democratic Studies, which is the premier source of research on democratic transitions worldwide, offers fellows the chance to develop advanced skills and knowledge via the Reagan-Fascell fellowship.
The five-month, fully-funded international fellowship in the United States is intended for both researchers and practitioners. However, the researchers will learn how to conduct unique and exclusive research for their publications, and the practitioners will learn how to enhance the tactics and procedures for establishing democracy globally. The National Endowment for Democracy Fellowship ensures the fellows’ engagement with other peers, the availability of resources for research and writing, and opportunities to establish professional connections with a global network of democracy advocates so they can gain all the beneficial experiences.
Practitioners from emerging or aspirant democracies, as well as those from non-democratic nations and other mature democracies, are all enthusiastically welcomed by the Reagan-Fascell program. The NED democracy fellowship program is built around a variety of educational and fun activities that provide fellows an understanding of government activity and other institutions that are tied to it. The activities might include lectures, panel discussions, outings, sporting events, visits to museums, happy hours, and more. All of these activities aim to foster a spirit of cooperation among the fellows and to teach the fellows about democratic education.
The Reagan-Fascell NED fellowship focuses on certain initiatives that pertain to democracy. Work on projects based on NED-proposed initiatives is required of the NED fellows. The political, social, economic, legal, and cultural aspects of democratic growth must be the main emphasis of both academic and practical programs. A variety of processes and approaches may potentially be used as the project’s foundation. The page that follows is a comprehensive guide to various financial perks, together with information on qualifying requirements and how to submit a successful application. The Reagan-Fascell Democracy Fellowship program is open to applicants who believe they are advocates for democratic ideals and their dissemination. This is important since NED’s objective is to encourage freedom around the globe.
