Graduate Fellowship Programs

The Council's Graduate Fellowship Programs are a unique opportunity for graduate students to work directly with a leader of stature and influence, most of whom are women. The Fellows are placed in the offices of heads of state and heads of government, international organizations, foundations, major policy institutions and the Council Secretariat in Washington, D.C., and observe firsthand the ways in which leadership is manifested.

The Council offers three Fellowship Programs: the Environmental Policy Graduate Fellowship Program, the Public Health Policy Graduate Fellowship Program, and the Gender and Public Policy Graduate Fellowship Program. Interested graduate-level students are encouraged to apply through the career centers at their universities.

The Graduate Fellowship Programs are made possible through the generous support of our donors:
