USA: The Eben Tisdale Public Policy Fellowship in Washington D.C.

Overview

Welcome to the Eben Tisdale Fellowship. We welcome your interest and participation in our program, which we believe offers outstanding opportunities for students to learn about high tech public policy issues with hands-on experience in Washington, D.C.

The Fellowship has two components: a full-time 8 week public policy internship with a high-tech company, firm or trade association, and weekly issues seminar lunches hosted by Tisdale sponsors. The Fellowship offers a $5,000 grant to students who are accepted.

Requirements

The Tisdale Fellowship is designed for outstanding graduate and undergraduate students who are interested in technology and public policy. Undergraduates must be in either their junior or senior year. The selection committee will be looking for students with a concrete record of academic achievement and civic mindedness (community activities or organization). A background in computer science or other high-technology fields is helpful but not required.
