Overview
IIPP enhances US national security and global competitiveness by promoting excellence, international service, and awareness among a broader, more representative cross-section of the American citizenry. We prepare a cadre of well-trained, language proficient minority young people to compete in the global marketplace. IIPP helps ensure that those entrusted with the affairs of the United States reflect the diversity that defines us as Americans and confronts us as citizens of our global village.
With 15 years of demonstrated excellence as the leading provider of international affairs and public policy education for minority college students, IIPP has educated and trained hundreds of Fellows. Our focus is on providing quality education and practice opportunities to minority students beginning in their sophomore year of college. We offer these opportunities through our sequenced six-component program, which includes:
• Sophomore Summer Policy Institute
• Junior Year Study Abroad
• Junior Summer Policy Institute
• Summer Language Institute
• Internships
• Graduate Degree in International Affairs
Eligibility and Selection Criteria
• Are enrolled full-time at an accredited four–year baccalaureate-granting institution
• Are U.S. Citizens or legal residents (documentary support required)
• Have a minimum 3.2 grade point average (on a 4.0 scale)
• Possess excellent critical analysis and leadership skills
• Have a strong demonstrated interest in international affairs, public policy and language training
• Are an underrepresented minority (African American, Hispanic, Asian American, American Indian, Alaskan Native, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander)
• Plan to seek admission to a two-year master’s degree program in international affairs
Though not a requirement, applicants are strongly encouraged to complete at least one of the following courses before starting the IIPP Fellowship: international affairs, foreign policy, a foreign language, political science, sociology, macro/micro-economics, statistics or a course in journalism.
