Changing Our World, Inc. is now accepting applications for its 2013 summer fellowship. This year’s fellow will explore and document changes in the higher education system. In specific, the fellow will look at changes in demographics, geography and subject matter distribution and how these have impacted philanthropy in the higher education space. Eligible applicants are motivated graduate students currently enrolled in accredited programs of business, international studies, public policy, social sciences and related disciplines.
Studies show women’s earned income growing at 8.1% compared to 5.8% for men. In addition, women are today awarded more than half of first professional degrees, and nearly two thirds of master’s degrees.

Understanding shifts in wealth and gender will be a key component of nonprofit fundraising strategies in the upcoming years.
