MCCLOY FELLOWSHIPS IN AGRICULTURE
McCloy Fellows in Agriculture receive an up-close look at agricultural, farm, and food-supply conditions across the Atlantic. Past American agricultural fellows have visited the European Union in Brussels, former East German cooperatives which have been converted into modern corporations, and various regions with diverse agriculture. German fellows are similarly exposed to American farm conditions and policies.
American and German agriculture fellows go overseas as a group in the summer or early fall. Travel dates are chosen to accommodate the schedules of the three to four participating fellows. During the program, fellows receive a per diem of $200 for a maximum of 28 days, based on the number of nights spent abroad. The American Council on Germany covers pre-approved transatlantic airfare and domestic travel, including intercity rail travel.
To apply, please submit the following to the appropriate address below:
1) a curriculum vitae;
2) a cover letter outlining what you expect to gain in terms of personal and professional development from this fellowship; and
3) two letters of recommendation (preferred) or contact information for two references.
AMERICAN agricultural applications are reviewed by the American Farm Bureau Federation.
