Reprieve Fellowship Application Now Open
Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 2009-08-12 14:42
Reprieve, the organization founded by Echoing Green Fellow Clive Stafford Smith, is holding an open competition for the Reprieve Fellowships, awards that enable outstanding individuals with a proven commitment to capital defence work to initiate a project or take up a position in a not-for-profit host organisation in the United States working on behalf of poor people facing the death penalty.
Applications are due on October 16, 2009, and successful candidates will start work between January 2010 and October 2010.
Reprieve regards the Fellowships as seed money to launch projects or careers in capital defence in the most under-resourced death penalty jurisdictions. Candidates must submit applications to Reprieve for projects or positions devised by the fellowship candidate and the proposed host organisation. Reprieve Fellowship candidates can be from anywhere in the world, including the US.
