The Legal and Business Fellowship Program (LBFP) is funded by the U.S. Department
of State’s Middle East Partnership
Initiative (MEPI) and will provide young women in business and law an opportunity to practice their skills and gain experience to help them grow as professionals and advocate for an improved investment climate
and legal reforms.
The five-month program will be conducted in the United States from March 30, 2008
to August
28, 2008.
Eligible applicants will be considered through a transparent merit-based process
that will identify leaders with strong English language skills who demonstrate maturity,
flexibility, and commitment to their professional goals. Women from under-served
and under-represented populations are strongly encouraged to apply.
Eligible applicants can apply by clicking on the tab called "Log-in Page."
If you are unable to complete the application on-line, please contact your local
AMIDEAST office to request
a paper application.
