Stanford University Summer Program 2025 is an educative program in the United States focusing on democracy and development. This program is organized annually by the Center for Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law (CDDRL). The summer fellowship is designed for participants from developing countries who are working to promote democratic practices and economic and legal reforms in regions where freedom, human development, and good governance are under threat.
Participants will be selected for the fellowship based on their notable contributions to their communities. Stanford University will provide support to these participants so they can fully utilize their potential to make an even greater impact on their communities. Fellows will come from diverse professional backgrounds, but all will share a commitment to building strong democratic and developmental systems.
