To apply for the Student Fellows Program, candidates will complete three short essay responses and provide both a resume and an academic transcript. These materials allow us to understand  your experiences and motivations for civic engagement and leadership. We encourage applicants to be authentic and thoughtful in their responses, as this helps us learn more about your unique perspective and potential.

Applications will be carefully reviewed by our selection committee, with emphasis placed on demonstrated leadership, civic interest, and overall candidate quality. We are not simply looking for titles or accolades, but for students who show initiative, commitment, and the ability to grow through this program. The review process ensures that each Fellow selected has the skills and mindset to contribute meaningfully.

Once accepted, Fellows will be thoughtfully placed into focus areas where they can make the most impact. Assignments are based on both the strengths you bring and the areas where you can grow as a leader. This ensures that every Fellow has the opportunity to contribute to real policy discussions, while also developing new skills and insights that prepare them for future leadership.
