Fully Funded Yale Maurice R. Greenberg World Fellows Program 2023

The Maurice R. Greenberg World Fellows Program is a full-time four-month residential program based at Yale's Jackson School of Global Affairs.

The Program enables World Fellows to broaden their perspectives, learn from one another, and grow personally and professionally. World Fellows contribute to Yale's intellectual life by giving talks, sitting on panels, working with peers, auditing classes, and mentoring students.

• WEEKLY SEMINARS

Good Society. World Fellows present to each other their vision for making the world a better place, what they do professionally, and how they contribute to building a ‘good society.’Salon. World Fellows host distinguished guests for discussions on critical topics, expanding their knowledge and challenging their views.
