AUTRY FELLOWSHIP

The Board of Directors of MDC Inc. is pleased to announce that applications are now being accepted for the Autry Fellowship, a prestigious post-baccalaureate fellowship focusing on economic and social justice. The Autry Fellowship celebrates the life and perpetuates the work of George B. Autry, the president of MDC. For 32 years, he lead MDC with a passion for improving opportunities for people and places struggling to keep pace with economic and social change. The Autry Fellowship's goal is to increase economic opportunity for poor people and poor places in North Carolina and across the South by developing, over time, a cadre of young leaders who have experience in issues related to economic development, workforce development, and community capacity building in the South and are poised and ready to apply their new learning to benefit this state and the region. The Fellowship provides a one-year, full-time paid position for a recent college graduate to work at MDC. The Fellow's time will center on learning MDC's theories of change and strategies by participating on a variety of project teams; the Fellow will have the option of devoting a portion of time to a project-specific assignment that will blend the interests of the Fellow with the specific needs of MDC during that year.

Qualifications

Applicants must either be in their final year of undergraduate or graduate study at or have graduated from any four-year college or university in the South. The application process is competitive, with review of candidates and applications by a selection panel of MDC Board and staff members and Autry family members.
