About the Fellowship

During their semester at Georgetown, Fellows lead weekly discussion groups open to the entire university community; hold regular office hours for students; participate in GU Politics programming and speak to other campus groups; and mentor students. In return, they receive a stipend, have access to campus resources, and are invited to audit any class at the McCourt School of Public Policy, one of the top public policy schools in the nation. But most importantly, they get to work with smart students in a collaborative way to improve the way we all do politics.
