Rise to Peace offers exceptional opportunities for talented individuals who are considering a career in government, international relations, counter-terrorism, and international security fields. Our research fellows and interns have the unique chance to learn about current international security issues and interact with field experts, scholars, and young, upcoming leaders. Since 2017, the program has supported 670+ young scholars, many of whom have gone on to distinguished careers in research, intelligence, international security, education, and policy making.

Applications from professionals, undergraduate, graduate and Ph.D students pursuing degrees in international relations, political science, economics, or other related fields. In addition to meeting the intellectual requirements, applicants should have excellent writing and research skills, along with basic computer knowledge.
