The Alfa Fellowship Program is an 11-month, fully funded professional development opportunity in Russia for emerging American, British and German leaders in business, media, law, policy and related fields. Fellows complete four months of intensive language tutoring in their home countries, then spend the summer in Moscow continuing their language training, while also attending lectures at the Higher School of Economics and participating in business meetings with private and public sector leaders. Fellows then work at prominent organizations, including private companies, media outlets, think tanks, and foundations. Trips to cities in the region are interspersed throughout the program year. Fellows receive a monthly stipend, all program related-travel costs, accommodation, and insurance. The annual application deadline is November 15.
