Overview
The Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies (APAICS) invites post-graduate and graduate students to apply to our 2010-2011 Fellowship Programs.
ANHEUSER-BUSCH/FRANK HORTON FELLOWSHIP
The Anheuser-Busch/Frank Horton Fellowship was established in honor of the late Congressman Frank Horton who was the primary sponsor in the passage of H.R. 5572 in 1992, which permanently designated the month of May as "Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.”
The fellowship is designed to provide a unique opportunity to an outstanding graduate student who has a commitment to the Asian Pacific Islander American communy, and who plans to pursue a career in public service. The fellow will spend nine months in Washington, D.C., in the Congressional office of the Chair of the Asian Pacific American Caucus (CAPAC) or in another branch of government. This program is made possible by the generous support of the Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc.
WAL-MART/GOVERNOR GEORGE R. ARIYOSHI FELLOWSHIP
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., was founded in 1962 by Sam Walton of Arkansas, who ran his company with a set of values that are instilled in each employee today. Their philosophy of operating globally and giving back locally has made a difference in our communities. They support causes that are important to customers in their own neighborhoods. Sometimes they are called the “store of the community.” In 2009, Wal-Mart’s global contributions totaled more than $530 million. Former Governor George R. Ariyoshi became the first state governor of Japanese-American ancestry. He held the Office of the Governor of Hawaii for three terms, making him the states’ longest-serving governor. Although quite popular, he was barred by term limits from seeking a fourth term.
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS FELLOWSHIP
The National Association of Realtors’ (NAR) mission is to help its members become more profitable and successful. They strive to be the collective force influencing and shaping the real estate industry. NAR works on behalf of America’s property owners providing a facility for professional development, research and exchange of information among its members and to the public and government for the purpose of preserving the free enterprise system, and the right to own, use, and transfer real property.
With the creation of the real estate policy fellowship, NAR is working with the Tri-Caucus organizations comprised of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation (CBCF), and Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (CHCI) and APAICS to provide background on how America’s largest trade association gathers information and develops and advocates for a range of important public policy issues that affect homeownership and the real estate business.
