January 26, 2002
Greetings!
It is with great pleasure that I present the first Resource
Guide of Summer Opportunities for Minority Undergraduate Students to you.
The process has been somewhat long and stressful at times, demanding more of my
time and attention that I ever thought necessary to complete the job. But, in
recognizing the vast abundance of interesting and unique opportunities that
present themselves to the undergraduate minority student, I felt compelled to
finish and get this resource out.
Having participated in at least one summer research opportunity (Fogarty Minority International Research Training Program: HIV/AIDS Research in Trinidad & Tobago), I recognize the value and unparalleled learning that one can gain from such experiences. Thus, my desire to share what little knowledge I have with you, and hoping that you will be able to find an experience within these pages that intrigues you, and most importantly that you will have the opportunity to participate.
During the process, I realized that the opportunities presented here represent only a fraction of the amazing possibilities out there in the ìreal worldî, but, it is a start, and hopefully we will expand this book for the forthcoming issue in 2003. Please feel free to send me your comments or if you know of other opportunities not listed here, could you please pass it on? I can be reached at the following e-mail address: bocako@email.com.
Thank you for your interest!
Sincerely,
Caroline Kouassiaman

willingness to work beyond the usual expectations.
Description
This program was founded upon
the basis that even amongst minorities, Native Americans remain the most
significantly underrepresented in graduate and medical education. 10
participants are chosen each summer for an intensive program involving
individualized research projects with faculty mentors (covering a wide range of
interests), as well as further opportunities to explore the fields of medicine
and biomedical research such as shadowing opportunities, shifts in the
emergency room and first-hand operating room experience. In addition,
extracurricular activities and trips are planned for program participants.
Participants tend to come to the program with varied levels of research
experience and differences in interest, so attempts are made by the sponsor to
accommodate everyone. In sum, the mission of this project is: ìto find
motivated Native people and encourage them to contribute their unique talented
to providing care to our people, individually through medicine, or broadly
through science. Simply stated, we are Indians helping Indians.î

Eligibility Criteria
- Sophomore student, enrolled full-time at
four-year (baccalaureate) institution.
- U.S. citizen or permanent resident (documentary
support required).
- Minimum 3.2 grade point average (on 4.0-scale).
- Strong interest in international affairs.
- Underrepresented minority.
Description
Students are recruited from
across the nation and apply as sophomores to participate in a five-year
sequence of summer policy institutes, study abroad, intensive language
training, internships, and graduate study.
Part I: The IIPP established the Sophomore Summer Policy
Institute (SSPI) at Clark Atlanta Universityís School of International Affairs
and Development in 1995. Each year a new class of fellows begins the program at
the eight-week SSPI. The course of study includes International Politics,
Research Methods, U.S. Foreign Policy, International Business, Economics, and
selected area studies. To the core curriculum components CAU adds a ìwriting
across the curriculumî element that evaluates fellowsí writing skills, then
challenges them in every course to address weaknesses. Fellows are given a
diagnostic exam when they arrive at the SSPI and before they depart. It
measures skills ranging from geography, to economics, to world history. To
assist fellows in putting into context what they learn at the SSPI, they travel
to Washington, D.C. and New York for policy briefings on Capitol Hill, at the
Department of State, the Foreign Service Institute, the United Nations, and
Wall Street.
Part II: Fellows may study for one
or two semesters at an approved overseas institution. The IIPP provides funding
for as much as one-half of the total cost of study abroad, with the unmet half
being covered by a combination of government and institutional aid, as well as
some reasonable family contribution.
Part III: As strong foreign language skills are essentially prerequisite to
success in international affairs, the IIPP places great importance in language
study for all fellows. Those without previously established language competency
are required to participate in an intensive language-training program during
the summer following their senior year. They are also required to enroll in
foreign language courses at their home institutions to lay the foundation for a
productive language training experience during the senior summer. Fellows are
strongly encouraged to take up less commonly studied languages; and they have,
by no means, confined themselves. Indeed, fellows are pursuing studies in
Arabic, Wolof, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, French, Spanish, German, Italian,
Portuguese, and Russian.
For two years, fellows have enrolled in the summer language program at
Middlebury College in Middlebury, Vermont. Course offerings at Middlebury
include Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, French, German, Italian, and
Spanish. Those fellows interested in languages not offered at Middlebury
receive assistance in identifying alternative programs. IIPP covers the costs
of travel to and from the SLI, tuition, room and board, and a modest stipend.
Part IV: Fellows attend the Junior Summer Policy Institute (JSPI) during the
summer following the junior year. The JSPIs are designed to do the following:
1) to prepare students for the rigor of graduate programs in international
affairs through an intensive program of skills assessment and development in
policy analysis, quantitative and communication skills; 2) to provide graduate
schools with insight into how individual fellows are likely to perform at the
graduate level; and 3) to assist fellows in their preparation for the graduate
school application process.
Part V: Fellows who have established language competency participate in a
summer internship experience in lieu of intensive language training during the
summer following the senior year. For some who opt to defer graduate school for
one year, the internship may span the fall and spring semesters as well,
providing valuable job experience that strengthens graduate school applications
and bolsters professional credentials. There is a wide range of placements
available, including, among many others, the U.S. Department of State, the Arms
Control and Foreign Policy Caucus, Africare, the Center for Strategic and
International Studies, and the Korea Economic Institute of America. While many
internship opportunities are at U.S.-based international affairs agencies and
organizations, there are overseas internship opportunities as well. IIPP
provides a modest cost of living stipend.
Part VI: Fellows who successfully complete each component of their respective
fellowship sequences are eligible to receive graduate fellowship assistance for
a masters degree in an international affairs-related field. Institutional
members of the Association of Professional Schools of International Affairs
(APSIA), as partners in the IIPP effort, provide matching fellowship support as
available.
Housing
Fellows pay for their travel
to and from the SSPI. IIPP covers the costs of tuition, books, site visits,
room and board, and a modest stipend.
