This scholarship will be awarded to one or two young Democrats for eight weeks of work in the summer of 2012.  Interns will receive a stipend for performing duties determined by the NHDP in areas including field organizing, operations, political and communications.

A Committee comprised of NHDP officers and one designee of the Bresler family will review the completed applications and choose the recipient(s). The winners will be announced at the State Party Convention on June 2.

Nat Bresler believed strongly in the need to address social and income inequalities. He worked specifically on fair housing, worker’s rights, gender equality, racial equality, and equality in environmental outcomes.

The application should address the following prompts:

1. What experiences or relationships in your life have led you to better understand the connection between income inequality and social justice?
2. How do you think working on a political campaign can bring about the change you would like to see in the world?
3. What connections do you see between social inequality and economic justice? How have personal experience and observations shaped your understanding of this connection? What do you see as the main connection?
4. List 3-4 issues you would like to see addressed in a social justice agenda. Pick one and describe why you feel it is important in 50 words or less.
5. What do you hope to gain from working on a political campaign?
6. If selected, how do you hope to use this experience in the future?

All applications should be received no later than 5/15/2012.
