I am pleased to share that the Center for Universal Education at the Brookings Institute is now accepting applications for the 2017 Echidna Global Scholars Program. Echidna Global Scholars spend nearly five months at Brookings in Washington, D.C. to pursue research on global education issues with an emphasis on girls’ education.

They are seeking exceptional applicants committed to girls’ education who seek the opportunity to build their research and analytical skills. Applicants should have a background in education, development, economics, gender, or a related area, a Master’s degree at minimum, and at least 15 years of professional experience. A cohort of 3-4 scholars will be selected.
