 | H.J. Heinz Company Foundation Fellowship Эта программа, как и все программы, рекомендуемые нами на www.chechnyaadvocacy.org/opportunities.htm полностью оплачена и покрывает все расходы (дорогу, жилье, пропитание) участников. Многие из этих программ специально нацелены на привлечение кандидатов из национальных меньшинств и регионов, где идут конфликты или есть социальные проблемы, таких, как Северный Кавказ. И это дает Вам больше шансов. Комиссия, ведущая процесс отбора кандидатов не дискриминирует их на почве национальной принадлежности, пола или религии. Однако процесс отбора тщателен и квалифицированных кандидатов много, и нет гарантии, что Вас, как и любого другого кандидата, выберут или не выберут. Это значит только, что заявление должно быть подготовлено качественно. Поэтому мы очень советуем Вам ознакомиться с указанными ниже программами; связаться с нами (can@chechnyaadvocacy.org ), если у Вас есть вопросы; подать заявление, если Вас интересует конкретная программа; или передать информацию о программах интересующимся сотрудникам, друзьям или родственникам.
