About The Public Interest Fellowship Program
The Public Interest Fellowship’s (TPIF) flagship program is a two-year long fellowship, with tracks running in Washington, DC and New York, NY. These fellowships are comprised of highly qualified recent college graduates and young professionals. In addition to their full-time employment with organizations committed to furthering American constitutional government, fellows participate in studies in the tradition of freedom and the contemporary challenges to liberal democracy in America delivered through twice-monthly evening seminars and academic retreats. They also attend monthly dinners with prominent public figures and participate in professional development sessions; and take advantage of extensive networking opportunities.
Benefits of The Public Interest Fellowship Program
- This two-year program offers two options in both cities: full-time and stipend.
