Department of State, and in 2003 will be administered by the American
Councils
for International Education: ACTR/ACCELS and the Open Society
Institute (OSI).
Approximately 335 fellowships will be awarded in 2003.

strength, their experience working with international students, their
ability to facilitate internships, their ability to assign faculty advisors
as well as a Muskie/FSA Graduate Program Coordinator, their ability to
contribute financially towards tuition in the form of cost-share, and their
