Oslo Scholars Program 2025

Oslo Scholars Program applications are open and due on Monday, January 13 at 11:59 pm.

The Oslo Scholars Program (OSP) offers undergraduates with demonstrated interest in human rights and international political issues an opportunity to attend the Oslo Freedom Forum in Norway and spend their summer working with some of the world’s leading human rights defenders and activists.

The Oslo Scholars Program was established in 2010 by the Human Rights Foundation (HRF) and the Institute for Global Leadership at Tufts University, as HRF presented an ideal platform to engage new generations of human rights defenders and scholars.

To get involved, contact Heather Barry, Special Adviser for Global Strategy
