The Elie Wiesel Prize in Ethics Essay Contest - Deadline: January 8, 2010
The Elie Wiesel Prize in Ethics Essay Contest is an annual
competition designed to challenge college students to analyze the urgent
ethical issues confronting them in today's complex world. Students are encouraged
to write thought-provoking personal essays that raise questions, single out
issues and are rational arguments for ethical action.
This year's Suggested Topics are as follows:
- What
does your own experience tell you about the relationship between politics
and ethics and, in particular, what could be done to make politics more
ethical?
- Articulate
with clarity an ethical issue you have encountered and analyze what it has
taught you about ethics and yourself.
- Carefully
examine the ethical aspects or implications of a major literary work, a
film or a significant piece of art.
- Clearly
analyze the relationship between religion and ethics in today's world.
- How
does a recent political or cultural event shed light on the ethics of
rebellion/revolution?
Full-time undergraduate juniors and seniors at accredited four-year colleges
and universities in the US are welcome to enter the Essay Contest.
All submissions to the essay contest are judged anonymously. A distinguished
committee reviews the essays and a jury that includes Elie Wiesel chooses the
winners. Please note that no manuscripts will be returned and essays may not be
submitted elsewhere until the awards have been announced. Winning essays become
the property of The Elie Wiesel Foundation and may not be reproduced elsewhere

Herbert Scoville Jr. Peace Fellowship - Deadline: January 15, 2010
Herbert Scoville Jr. Peace
Fellowship is a competitive national program that provides college graduates
the opportunity to work in Washington, DC, with a public-interest organization
focusing on international security issues. The program has awarded 120
fellowships since its inception in 1987. The fellowship is offered twice
yearly, in the spring and fall. It lasts from six to nine months and
provides a stipend, health insurance, and travel costs to Washington. The
Scoville Fellowship does not award grant or scholarship money to
students.
Scoville Fellows may undertake a variety of activities, including research,
writing, and advocacy in support of the goals of their host organization and
may attend coalition meetings, policy briefings, and Congressional
hearings. They have written fact sheets, letters to the editor, articles,
briefing books and reports, organized talks and conferences, and been
interviewed as experts by the media. Many former Scoville Fellows work for
U.S. and international NGOs, the Federal Government, and academia, or attend
graduate school in political science or international relations, following
their fellowships.
Those who are interested in peace
and security issues please visit our website at www.scoville.org.
The Scoville Fellowship is a small organization and we lack the resources to
send staff to college career fairs and to post jobs on individual university
websites. Although the majority of Scoville Fellows received college
degrees in political science, government, international relations, or history,
we do not require any specific major. There is no application form; the application
requirements are listed on the website, as are links to the websites of each of
the twenty-four participating organizations and information on the work of
current and former Scoville Fellows. Applications must be submitted via
email. Application deadline is January 15 for the Summer/Fall 2010
