The Catherine Hinman Memorial Fellowship creates opportunities for graduate students from across the country pursuing public policy careers, with background studies in economics, applied sciences, and international affairs, to gain practical experience and grow professional networks in Washington DC. Fellows will develop technical writing and research skills, be immersed into federal policy-making and international affairs, and sow the seeds of professional growth for years to come.
The fellowship lasts for 8 to 10 weeks (housing available from late May until early August).
