Fellows will conduct research for books, participate in meetings with high level officials, contribute to congressional testimony and organize briefings. The fellowship is a year long, full-time position with salary and benefits. The Carnegie Endowment accepts applications only through participating universities via designated nominating officials.
Eligibility requirements:

However, all applicants must be eligible to work in the United States for a full 12 months from August 1 through July 31 following graduation. Students on F-1 visas who are eligible to work in the US for the full year (August 1 through July 31) may apply for the program.

Selection process: Carnegie is a very competitive fellowship-approximately 5% of applicants are selected for positions.

In February approximately 25 finalists are chosen for an interview in Washington, DC. Carnegie will pay travel expenses; interview can also be done by phone.
