About the Equity & Inclusion Fellowship:
APPAM proudly offers the Equity & Inclusion Fellowship to students and professionals whose socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds are underrepresented in the field of public policy.
Since 2016, the Fellowship has supported hundreds of people pursuing education and starting their careers by sponsoring their visit to the Annual Fall Research Conference, recognizing their accomplishments, and providing opportunities to engage with a wide network of peers.
Through the Fellowship, we hope to expand opportunity in public policy and spark lifelong interest in the field.
