REMINDER! Applications are due Feb 15th

The Eben Tisdale Fellowship, which includes a $5,000 grant, offers outstanding opportunities for undergrad and grad students to learn about high tech public policy issues with hands-on experience in Washington, D.C.

The Dell Thurmond Woodard Fellowship, which includes one $5,000 grant for one student each year, is part of the Tisdale Fellowship program. Any student, undergraduate or graduate, who is interested in diversity and ethics issues, and in learning about high-tech public policy issues, can apply for this Fellowship.

The application for both of these Fellowships is the same, except that those applying for the Dell Thurmond Woodard Fellowship should include an additional essay on diversity and ethics.

The Fellowship has two main elements:

1) Internship: Fellows participate in an eight-week internship in the government relations office of a leading high technology company. In the past, fellows have interned at such companies as Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Philips Electronics and Monster Worldwide, as well as associations such as the Business Software Alliance or TechAmerica.

2) Issues Seminar: The issues seminar is a weekly lunch hosted by the different sponsoring companies and associations. Expert speakers lead discussions of current public policy issues in Washington, and the methods the high technology industry uses for effective advocacy.

The Summer 2010 Fellowship runs from June 14 - Aug 6. The goal of the Fellowship is to create a supportive environment in which a new class of public policy professionals will be mentored to help ensure that the high-tech industry continues to have highly capable and well-trained individuals in both policy advocacy and senior management positions.

The application deadline is February 15, 2010. For more info and to apply, visit www.tisdalefellowship.org. For questions, contact Jonathan Tilley at info@tisdalefellowship.org or 202-986-0384.
