Applications Open for 2015-2016 Humphrey Policy Fellows Program

The Humphrey School of Public Affairs has opened applications for the 2015-2016 Policy Fellows program, one of the country’s most respected leadership programs for emerging and mid-career professionals.

Fellows will connect with a cohort of 35 people across the work and political spectrum who will broaden each others’ perspectives and expand their networks as they engage in a high-level professional experience. They gain practical skills and experiences to take their career and civic work to the next level.

The Policy Fellows meet once per month between September and June to explore fundamental aspects of leadership, and travel to Washington, D.C. for a multi-day trip with prominent elected officials and national public affairs leaders. Fellows represent business, nonprofit, and public sectors across the state of Minnesota.

Applications are due June 1, 2015, with candidates notified of their status by mid-July. Scholarships are available; those specifically for nonprofit sector participants are made possible by generous gifts from the George Family Foundation and the Jay and Rose Phillips Family Foundation of Minnesota. Applicants from Greater Minnesota are encouraged to apply, and are eligible for lodging assistance.
