The Undergraduate Political Achievement Fellowship Program
The Graduate School of Political Management at The George Washington University is a school of professional politics, located in the heart of DC, where students and young professionals around the country come to study the business of politics.
The Graduate School of Political Management, in an effort to foster political activism, civic engagement, and youthful creativity in communities, will award four fellowships to undergraduate students who strive to build a vibrant democracy.
Each submission will be reviewed by a preliminary and final panel of notable judges from across the political spectrum. Fellowship recipients will:
- Receive a $10,000 scholarship for study at The Graduate School of Political Management at The George Washington University.
- Expand their application essay into an article of a length to be determined by the dean of The Graduate School of Political Management. After undergoing an editorial review, the article will be published in the school's first annual Rising Stars of Undergraduate Politics.
- Participate in a panel discussion at The George Washington University to discuss their work and the larger goal of increasing undergraduate participation in politics and civics.
- Record a short video clip at their undergraduate institution for inclusion in a short documentary highlighting their achievements and encouraging others to become politically engaged.
