The foundation of the Public Policy and International Affairs Fellowship is access to the Junior Summer Institute Program. Hosted at some of the top graduate policy schools in the nation, these six-week summer programs prepare students with the knowledge and network to succeed in the field of public service.

Students of all backgrounds are welcome to apply to the PPIA Fellowship.

Once students have completed the Junior Summer Institute, they join an Alumni Network of more than 5,000 leaders, providing ongoing connections, opportunities, and programs. All alumni enjoy lifetime access to the annual Public Service Expo.

In addition to the opportunities this network provides for mentoring and career development, the Alumni Network has the opportunity to receive financial support for their graduate school education if they attend one of the programs in the Graduate School Consortium.
