Urban and Regional Policy Fellowships

The German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF) grants a number of fellowships each year through the Urban and Regional Policy program.

Urban and Regional Policy fellowships, jointly supported by the Compagnia di San Paolo and the Bank of America Foundation, are intended to provide opportunities for practitioners and policy-makers working on economic and social issues at the urban and regional policy levels to meet with their counterparts across the Atlantic and discuss policies and measures that have been implemented.  Fellows can then return from their time overseas equipped with the ideas and insights necessary to effect significant and lasting positive change in their own communities.

Applying for the Urban and Regional Policy Fellowship

The 2011 Call for Applications is now closed. The next Call for Applications will be released in Fall 2012. For questions regarding the fellowship, clease contact Casey Kuklick at ckuklick@gmfus.org.
