The Open Society Institute ("OSI") is pleased to announce the Social Work Fellowship Program (the "Program") for Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. The Program is designed to provide training in social work to implement reform, create policy and foster the development of social work in the participating countries. Upon the conclusion of the fellowship, fellows return home to apply their new knowledge in practice. The Program also introduces students from the participating countries to colleagues from other regions of the world and encourages cross-national dialogues among professional communities. Approximately 16 awards will be granted in 2004.

Fellows will be placed at universities in the United States for a two-year graduate program in social work beginning in June 2004 and concluding in May 2006. The participating host universities are Columbia University (www.columbia.edu/cu/ssw) and Washington University in St. Louis (www.gwbweb.wustl.edu).

The Program is pleased to participate in the new Online Application System (OAS) for 2004.
