           *** Feel Free to Share with Graduate Students ***
 
    The ACT Washington Office would like to call your attention to a
    premier summer program for graduate students at the Washington,
    DC, headquarters of the World Bank.
 
    The SEP is open to students who possess an undergraduate degree and
    are enrolled in a graduate program. Generally, successful
    candidates will have completed their first year of graduate studies
    or are already into their Ph.D. studies. The SEP is open to
    graduate students who are nationals of the Bank's member countries.
    SEP participants can start work as early as May and generally must
    complete their duties by September 30. A commitment of a minimum of
    four weeks is expected. The deadline for requesting applications is
    January 31, 1996. ALL APPLICATIONS ARE DUE BY FEBRUARY 29, 1996.
 
    The Bank pays a monthly salary and will provide a travel
    allowance. For 1996, the SEP is seeking candidates in the
    following fields: economics, finance, human resource development
    (public health, education, nutrition, population) social sciences
    (anthropology and sociology), environment, private sector
    development, statistics, as well as related fields. Fluency in
    English is required, and knowledge of another World Bank Group
    language (French, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Portuguese, Chinese)
    is useful. Requests for an application can be made electronically
    by sending a request to <sprogram at worldbank.org> or by sending a
    snail request to Summer Employment Program, The World Bank, 1818 H
    Street, NW, Washington, DC 20433 USA. Since the Bank cannot
    transmit the application electronically, include a snail address.
    An auto-reply will advise interested granduate students taht the
    forms will be snail mailed within three working days.
 
    The Bank managers will select approximately 200 SEP participants
    from several thousand expected applicants. The Bank will contact
    all successful applicants by June 1996 and requests that
    applicants not contact the small SEP staff for status reports.
 
    Please understand that this is a World Bank, not an ACT, program.
    ACT's interest is in disseminating information about an
    outstanding opportunity. If anyone is unsuccessful in getting the
    application material in a timely manner from the Bank, we will be
    happy to forward your request and attempt to facilitate delivery
    of the application material to prospective applicants.
 
    ACT would also invite all successful candidates to stop by its
    offices at One Dupont for a visit during your stay in Washington.
