The Fisher Family Summer Fellows Program on Democracy and Development is a training program hosted annually by Stanford University's Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law (CDDRL) at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI). It brings together a group of approximately 28-30 mid-career practitioners from transitioning countries to advance democratic practices and economic and legal reform where freedom, human development, and good governance are fragile or at risk. The program is funded by Bill Draper, the late Phyllis Draper, and Ingrid Hills, and it became the Fisher Family Summer Fellows Program in honor of an endowment gift from Sakurako (Sako) and William Fisher.
The program is aimed at civil society leaders and mid-career practitioners from transitioning countries who are working to advance democratic practices and economic and legal reform. It provides an intensive 3-week on-campus forum where fellows live on Stanford campus for the duration of the program and participate in classes with CDDRL faculty tailored to the interests and experiences of each cohort. Academic sessions and case study workshops cover topics including political development, democratic transitions, the relationship of law to economic development, and transitional justice, among others.
Participants are selected from among hundreds of applicants based on the significant contributions they have already made to their societies and their potential to make an even greater impact with some help from Stanford. The program is delivered by a Stanford faculty team and includes lectures by guest speakers and guest lectures by individuals from the greater Stanford community. Fellows also give “TED”-style talks during the second week of the program.
Please note: scholarship values, the number of awards, eligibility and deadlines change from year to year and are indicative here. Always confirm the current details on the official provider or university website before applying, and beware of any third party asking for payment to “secure” a scholarship.
