We offer fellowship and grant programs for graduate students, and run the PON Student Interest Group (SIG) which brings together over 1200 students from Boston-area schools who are interested in negotiation and conflict resolution. Subscribers to the SIG email list receive updates on events, internship opportunities, and job announcements.
