Applications for Hosts and Fellows are now available. Apply today!
The National Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC) and Morgan Stanley partnered to create a community development fellowship that matches top-level master’s degree students with premiere community development organizations. Both hosts and fellows must apply for this opportunity. Applications will be accepted until May 6, 2022.
NCRC’s Fellowship for Equitable Development cultivates the next generation of community development leaders and empowers them to tackle the issues of tomorrow. It is NCRC’s intention and pledge to uphold the values of community empowerment and racial equity in the fellowship program. Pillars of focus will include: climate change, widening wealth inequality, food insecurities and extreme housing shortages and their disproportionate impact on low-wealth communities and communities of color.
The fellowship program seeks to pair up to 10 students from the Washington, DC, metropolitan area’s most highly respected urban planning, community development or public administration masters-level university programs, with high-performing community development corporations (CDCs) and community development financial institution (CDFI) member organizations. Projects of focus must be in the fields of affordable housing, economic development or community planning.
Participating organizations will be able to take on innovative projects that they otherwise could not accomplish while fellows gain hands-on experience and kickstart their professional development.
All high-level graduate degree students who have completed at least one semester of full-time graduate studies (at least ¼ of the credits necessary to graduate as of September 1, 2022) are encouraged to apply.
