Excited to have a guest joining me on the telephone line right now, I have joining me Rob Berchinski, and Rob is with the Harvard Kennedy School and they are honoring veterans. Perfect time to talk about it. This week, the week of Veterans Day, that was Tuesday, and we're talking right now about how they're honoring veterans. And the gentleman I'm talking to Rob is a veteran himself, a US Air Force veteran. So thank you very much for
your service, sir, Thanks for having me John. Now let's talk about how the Harvard Kennedy School is honoring veterans, the people who serve with the largest single year fellowship in history, the American Service Fellowship. And this is something it's a one hundred thousand dollars scholarship and stipend for fifty veterans and public servants. So if I'm a veteran, how do I apply for this particular scholarship.
Great. Yeah. What we're doing is launching what we call the American Service Fellowship. It's the single largest scholarship program in the almost ninety year history of the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. And what we're going to do with this is bring an incredible group of public service minded Americans, hopefully from all over the country to our campus here in Cambridge, Massachusetts. We're going to offer them an absolutely free master's degree and a stipend to boot. So it's
about a one hundred thousand dollars deal all in. And as long as those that apply have seven years of demonstrated public service in all its forms, they can are free to apply. So that means active duty military veterans, those that went to Washington, d c. And served as diplomats or development officials, those that ran for public office, might be serving in public office at the local city council level or in state houses, school teachers, police officers, firefighters,
those that join the Peace Corps. Anybody who's got seven years of public service should apply. Applications are due by December first come. You'll meet an incredible group of people learn together, learn from our world class faculty about how to think about the big challenges facing our country and the world, and then how to go back out into your communities in order to solve those challenges.
I love that. Now we just talked about who's eligible, let's talk about how many people will be accepted into this program. Is there just one or is there more than one?
No, we're going to have fifty total, and that'll be part of our larger student body here at the Harvard Kennedy School. But fifty scholarships of about one hundred thousand dollars each.
That's very cool. So with the number fifty, is it going to be one per state or it's not necessarily one per state?
Not necessarily, But I'm talking to you, John, I'm out in the world hoping to hit communities all over the country. So we are advertising in every state in this country and want to build a cohort of that fifty that really represents different views, perspectives, backgrounds and states across the country.
Rob, I'm sure other people listening probably thought what I thought as you were describing that. I thought of a couple of different people that I think would be perfect to apply for this. But how do I tell them where do I send them? Do I send them to a website? Or how in the world do they apply for the Harvard Kennedy School Veterans Scholarship.
That's a great question, John, I hope that your friends and family are applying. The way they would go about doing that is to go to the web page. It's kN dot sc slash service again, that's Ken dot sc slash service. Or if it's easier, just google American Service Fellowship. It'll be the first thing that comes up. You'll come to our web page at the Harvard Kennedy School. There'll be more information and a button that you can use to apply.
I think this is a wonderful thing, and if you know somebody who might be a good fit for this, be sure to tell them. I'm going to make it really easy for you to connect them. I'll share a link to all of this information on our Facebook page. Rob Thank you for doing what you're doing, and thank you for sharing this wonderful news.
Thank you, John really appreciate it.
