Public Policy & International Affairs (PPIA) Fellowship Program

The PPIA Fellowship Junior Summer Institute (JSI) Program is a fully funded and rigorous graduate school preparation program for undergraduate juniors committed to public service careers. Since 1980, it’s supported future leaders in government, nonprofits, public policy, and international organizations. The purpose of the fellowship is to prepare students to obtain a graduate degree in public policy, public administration, international affairs, or a related field.

The Junior Summer Institutes take place at top public policy graduate schools across the US. Once students have completed their JSI, they join an alumni network and have access to mentoring and career development opportunities as well as financial support for graduate school at programs in the PPIA Graduate School Consortium.
