Equity & Inclusion Fellowship

NEW! Equity & Inclusion Undergraduate Fellowship

Since 2016, we have offered the Equity & Inclusion Student Fellowship to over 200 underrepresented student members.  This year, we are continuing for the second year the Equity & Inclusion Fellowship Program to include undergraduate students! We hope to introduce the field of public policy to undergraduates, who might not otherwise be familiar with it, as well as increase the pipeline of diverse students into APPAM institutional member graduate public policy and public affairs schools.

Equity & Inclusion Student Fellowship

In an effort to encourage participation by underrepresented students in APPAM and its activities, the Policy Council and APPAM’s Diversity Committee created the ‘APPAM Equity & Inclusion Fellowship’ in April 2016. The recipients will be celebrated at our Annual Fall Research Conference in Atlanta this November.

The fellowship supports the travel and participation of up to 40 students from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds at the APPAM Fall Research Conference. While at the conference, the fellowship recipients will have the opportunity to formally network with each other and with members of the Policy Council and Diversity Committee, recognizing them, their accomplishments and bright futures. They will also have many opportunities to informally network with other students and professionals during the conference. The goal of this fellowship program is to introduce recipients to the world of public policy and APPAM, and foster a lifelong affiliation and engagement with both.
