We are excited to share a unique fellowship opportunity for University of Maryland, College Park students who are passionate about national security and foreign policy. The CSIS Policy Fellowship is dedicated to empowering undergraduate students of historically marginalized backgrounds who demonstrate a strong interest in pursuing a career in the national security and policy field. It is an extension of four successful previous fellowships, each conducted with a single university. This year, CSIS is broadening the fellowship to include 13 universities in the DMV area.
Given the University of Maryland's commitment to equity and the advancement of marginalized communities into leadership roles across all sectors, we would be grateful if you could share this opportunity with your students who may benefit from this enriching experience. Please find the attached flyer and further information regarding the CSIS Policy fellowship on the CSIS website.
Fellows selected for this prestigious semester-long program will have the chance to learn from renowned foreign policy experts and practitioners, engage in a mutual exchange of ideas, and build connections that will accelerate their success in the world of national security and foreign policy. We believe that your students would greatly benefit from this enriching experience.
