The goal of the PPIA Fellowship Program is to help students achieve a Master’s or joint degree, typically in public policy, public administration, international affairs or a related field. PPIA seeks out high-potential undergraduate to participate in an intensive seven-week Junior Summer Institute (JSI) before their senior year. During their program, fellows are equipped with the knowledge and skills they will need to succeed in graduate school and ultimately, in influential roles serving the public good.
All fellows receive housing, funding and a minimum of $5000 towards graduate school
- The mission of PPIA is to increase the participation and inclusion of historically underrepresented groups in public policy and international affairs graduate programs and encourage them to pursue public service careers.
- PPIA is the largest and most selective diversity initiative in the U.S. focused on professional public service to support master’s degrees in public policy and international affairs.
- To ensure students continue on to graduate school, the PPIA National Office works with a consortium of over 30 of the top public policy and international affairs schools to recruit the PPIA alumni including but not limited to Harvard, University of Michigan, Columbia, Yale, Duke, Georgetown, Brown and more.
- Students undergo professional development, a rigorous seven weeks of courses in Economics, Statistics, Policy Analysis, Writing and Public Speaking taught by faculty of the JSI graduate school, and GRE Prep.
- Fellows receive full funding for the JSI program with a stipend of at least $1500, housing, fee waivers for all Public Policy and International Affairs graduate programs within the consortium, a minimum of $5000 of funding for graduate school within the consortium (Fellows often receive much more), and membership to the PPIA network, with over 4000 alumni.
