Attention policy interested and passionate graduate students —the Clark-Fox Policy Institute and the Social Policy Instituteare pleased to invite you to apply to join the 2022-2023 cohort of the Graduate Policy Scholars Program!  

Spanning an academic year, the program offers graduate students a unique and highly flexible learning opportunity to build capacity for policy practice and engagement. Participants gain access to a campus-wide community of peers and exclusive learning opportunities to develop skills in research and communication, advocacy, organizing, and electoral activism.  

Click here to apply – the deadline is Friday, September 23, at 5:00 PM CST.  We expect to notify students of their application status in early October. If you are selected for the program, a mandatory orientation and kick-off will be held in mid-October.  

All graduate students are encouraged to apply. With limited space in the program, some preference will be given to graduating students in their final year. Previous experience in policy is not required.   

More information about the program can be found through the program’s website, program flier, and a recording from a GPS Zoom info session.
