About this book

This book provides a wealth of comparative information on social justice in higher education worldwide by examining how the Ford Foundation International Fellowships Program, the world's largest private fellowship program in higher education, has succeeded in fostering social justice leadership over the past ten years.

Reviews

"The International Fellowships Program had a bold vision: to advance social justice around the world by investing in higher education for future leaders. By selecting for social commitment rather than mere academic excellence, it opened up new possibilities for individuals to make a difference in their communities. The essays in this volume are written by practitioners who worked out this vision. Their stories show how institutional choices can make a difference in advancing social justice for all." - Keith Clemenger, Vice President, GreenPoint Group
