“The Bryce Harlow Fellowship provides an unrivaled opportunity to learn about government relations from talented experts.” – Cesar Prieto
About
Bryce Harlow Fellowships are awarded by the Bryce Harlow Foundation to individuals who work full-time and undertake graduate-level studies on a part-time basis. Graduate programs may include, but are not limited to, public policy, law, and business. The $9,000 award will help defray tuition costs and will be paid directly to the university in two installments. In addition to the monetary award, fellows also have a unique opportunity to participate in the Bryce Harlow Foundation Mentoring Program, an offering that pairs a fellow with one of the Foundation’s board members.
Eligibility
- Students must plan to be enrolled in part-time graduate studies for credit at the participating university for the next academic year.
- Students who are accepted to an accredited graduate program but have not yet started their first year are also allowed to apply for the fellowship. (Please include a letter of acceptance to graduate school in place of your graduate transcripts.)
- Students must be employed full-time throughout the Fellowship year. Temporary work, part-time work, and internships do not qualify.
- Applicants must demonstrate an interest and strong ability for a career in advocacy that relates to government relations and lobbying.
- Applicants must grant the Foundation permission or publish their names, photos and employers.
- Applicants must be U.S. citizens.
