Obama Foundation Scholars Program for International Leaders

Harris School of Public Policy is pleased to announce the Obama Foundation Scholars Program. The program is aimed to support rising leaders who are focused on an issue of global importance, have the commitment to improve people's lives, and want to accelerate their impact. Scholars will study to earn a Master's Degree in International Development and Policy (MA-IDP), at Harris School, and receive a full scholarship that includes access to other programs outside of the classroom. Rising leaders will work with members of the Obama Foundation to gain real-world skills, tools, and experiences that will expand the impact of their work.  After completing the program, Obama Scholars will return to their communities, and continue the important work they started in the program, by creating their own personalized action plan.
