USCIRF Creates New Fellowship Program

The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom announced Monday that it has created the Joseph R. Crapa Fellowship Program in memory of USCIRF's former Executive Director. Each fellowship will be for a period of up to 12 months, and the person selected will spend most of his or her time in residence at USCIRF headquarters in Washington. USCIRF is interested in applicants who wish to study any of a broad group of issues relating to international aspects of religious freedom. Applications are due by June 15, 2009.
