PPIA Junior Summer Institute (JSI) Fellowship 2025: (Deadline 1 November, 2024)
Applications are open for the PPIA Junior Summer Institute (JSI) Fellowship 2025. The Public Policy and International Affairs (PPIA) Fellowship prepares undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds for graduate studies and careers in public policy and international affairs. Through the PPIA Junior Summer Institute (JSI), a rigorous seven-week program held before their senior year, students gain a deeper understanding of current issues and trends, explore career opportunities in public service and global leadership, and acquire the academic skills necessary to excel in graduate education.
The PPIA Fellowship aims to strengthen the leadership capacity of government and nonprofit organizations worldwide by encouraging a diverse cadre of leaders to pursue careers in public service. The fellowship is rooted in the belief that representation is essential to advancing a more just and equitable society. After completing the Junior Summer Institute, fellows join PPIA’s robust Alumni Network– a community of over 5,000 accomplished professionals dedicated to public service. Fellows are also invited to participate in the annual Public Service Expo, providing further opportunities for professional growth and networking.
