2024 IHRP Summer Fellowship Guide

Specifically, the IHRP considers the following aspects of the proposed fellowship: the host organisation, the proposal, the student’s strengths and interests, and the student’s professionalism in all dealings related to the application process. [...] Students research and locate suitable host organisations, approach the organisation to host them as a fellow, develop a project with the organisation, and then apply to the IHRP to approve their proposal. [...] (Please note, the application form and requirements at Appendix A to this Guide apply only to the student-initiated fellowship applications and not the in-house fellowship applications.) To learn more about the experience of last year’s IHRP in-house fellow, check out this submission from the fall edition of Rights Review. [...] If it is the case, mention to the organisation that you will be accepting any offer obtained through the host organisation regardless of the outcome of your application for funding through the IHRP fellowship. [...] I have had the opportunity to study the evolution and effects of the 1951 UN Convention on Refugees, the role of the UNHCR and other elements of the international refugee regime through courses such as Global Governance and Citizenship & Immigration.
