Curtis W. Meadows, Jr. Social Enterprise Fellows (formerly Ford Fellows)
The Curtis W. Meadows, Jr. Social Enterprise Fellows program matches teams of UT Austin graduate students to serve as nonprofit consultant fellows with NGOs in Latin America. Working in an interdisciplinary team, a Meadows Fellow can expect to provide management consulting services on issues of strategy, marketing, finance, human resources, and sustainability for a nonprofit organization.
The RGK Center welcomes student recommendations for NGOs who would benefit from Meadows Social Enterprise Program but does not guarantee placement with an NGO due to personal connection.
Summer 2009
Graduate students from the McCombs School of Business, the LBJ School of Public Affairs and the Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies are eligible to apply. Each student receives a $1,300 stipend to help defray the travel and living expenses associated with the consulting project. Address questions to Moira Porter, 471-7355 or moira@austin.utexas.edu
