The Harvard Kennedy School of Government has received a $5 million gift from Glenn Dubin, co-founder and CEO of Highbridge Capital Management. This gift will be used to launch a graduate fellowship fund to support and develop new programs for emerging leaders from the United States and around the world.
The Dubin Graduate Fellowships for Emerging Leaders will be based at Harvard Kennedy School’s Center for Public Leadership (CPL). Dubin Fellowships will be awarded on a competitive basis and will provide full tuition for up to 10 students each year, beginning in the 2010–11 academic year. Fellowship applicants will be judged on demonstrated academic excellence, leadership potential, and depth of commitment to making a transformative impact on the communities they intend to serve.
In addition to their formal course work, Dubin Fellows will have the opportunity to participate in a broad set of supporting activities, including leadership workshops, an interdisciplinary discussion series with eminent practitioners and thought leaders, field experience in a range of settings, and mentorship with Kennedy School graduates.
