The APPAM Excellence, Equity, and Inclusion (EEI) Fellowship program supports the participation of students from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds at the Annual Fall Research Conference.
This fellowship program aims to introduce recipients to the world of public policy and APPAM and foster a lifelong affiliation and engagement with both—special thanks to the Equity & Inclusion Fellowship Selection Committee for reviewing applications and selecting the recipients.
Congratulations to the 2026 APPAM Excellence, Equity, and Inclusion Fellowship recipients!
