Black Diaspora Fellowships

The Black Diaspora Fellowship (including the Michael Tubbs Black Communities Fellowship) enables students to participate in a practicum working with a nonprofit organization or government agency on social, political, and/or economic issues affecting Black American communities. Students will have an in-depth learning experience that will foster an opportunity to apply what they have learned in and out of the classroom about race, diversity, equity and social justice. The Black Diaspora Fellows spend a summer working full-time for nine weeks with a supervisor/mentor in a domestic U.S. community organization of their choice.

Each Black Diaspora Fellow receives a base stipend of $7000 to support travel and living expenses during the fellowship. Financial aid and supplemental funding are available to students who qualify.
