Benefits of Institute for Youth in Policy - The Public Policy Fellowship
- After qualified applicants are selected to participate in the fellowship program, they embark upon an immersive journey of personal, professional, and political growth through engaging seminars, thought-provoking debates, interactive workshops, and exclusive guest speaker opportunities. Throughout the program, fellows will also work with their peers on writing an original policy brief and presenting it, as well as developing their own original capstone project. Fellows receive ongoing guidance and mentorship throughout the program to ensure that they are building a unique skill set of policy analysis, communication, articulation, nonpartisan thinking, debate, and problem-solving.
Institute for Youth in Policy - The Public Policy Fellowship Requirements

- Graduate students and graduates are not eligible for the program.
- Unfortunately, the fellowship is not open to international applicants since meetings are scheduled in U.S. time zones and the workshops largely focus on U.S.-oriented public policy and political systems.
