About the Fellowship

Partnership with the American Political Science Association Congressional Fellowship Program

The Health and Aging Policy Fellows Program is delighted to be able to partner with the APSA Congressional Fellowship Program, a highly selective non-partisan program in the nation’s Capitol. Founded in 1953, the APSA Congressional Fellowship Program is the nation's oldest and most prestigious congressional fellowship. More than fifty years later, the program remains devoted to its original objective of expanding knowledge and awareness of Congress throughout the United States and worldwide.

Health and Aging Policy Fellows (both residential and non-residential) will participate in APSA Congressional Fellowship Program activities (see CORE Program and Components). Residential fellows will be assisted by APSA Congressional Fellowship Program staff, in cooperation with the Health and Aging Policy Fellows National Program Office, with finding placements. Fellows secure their own jobs as legislative assistants in Congress by contacting member offices directly. This process takes place during the November orientation. Once they obtain a position, Fellows gain an insider's view of Capitol Hill and intimate understanding of the functioning of the federal government as a whole.
