Apply for the APPAM Equity and Inclusion Fellowship
Deadline to Apply is August 31st
In an effort to encourage participation by underrepresented students in APPAM and its activities, the Policy Council and APPAM's Diversity Committee created the APPAM Equity & Inclusion Fellowship in 2016. Now, we are expanding the Equity & Inclusion Fellowship Program to include undergraduate students. We hope to introduce the field of public policy to undergraduates, who might not otherwise be familiar with it, as well as increase the pipeline of diverse students into APPAM institutional member graduate public policy and public affairs schools.
