Open to Current Students or Recent Graduates Latest information about an exciting career opportunity with the State Policy Fellowship Program just posted, which could be the perfect for some students or recent graduates.  Its goal is to help build a diverse generation of future leaders who will shape state policies that affect disadvantaged families and communities.
 
The Fellowship is sponsored the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a national policy institute, and the State Fiscal Analysis Initiative (SFAI), a network of public policy organizations in over 40 states that participate in debates over budget and tax issues and other issues in their states that affect disadvantaged communities and families.   
 
Below are key details on the program:
- Fellows will spend two years as entry-level analysts working with a state policy organization belonging to the nationwide SFAI network.
 - Fellows will research and write analyses on current policy issues; brief policymakers, journalists, and others on these issues; and serve as a resource for advocates and community groups.
- These are paid, full time positions with benefits.
- Fellows will participate in a professional development program that includes a week-long seminar in Washington, D.C. and additional training opportunities, including national policy conferences.  Additionally, fellows will be partnered with mentors who are leaders in their field. 
- To be eligible for the program, candidates must 1) have a graduate degree in public policy, public affairs, economics, social work, public health, law, or a related field by August 2014, 2) have a strong academic record, and 3) be eligible to work in the United States for the two-year duration of the program.
 
Application requirements include a personal essay, resume, copies of undergraduate and graduate transcripts, and two letters of recommendation.  Completed applications must be submitted by January 24, 2014, but we encourage applicants to apply earlier.  The fellowship will begin in the latter part of August 2014.
