Georgetown University's Government Department will host its second annual one-week Political Science Predoctoral Summer Institute (PS-PSI) from June 12 to 16, 2023.  Our goals are to increase the diversity of applicants to politicalscience PhD programs, boost the acceptance rate of under-represented students, enhance the diversity of students in those programs, and augment inclusion and equity in the discipline. You can read more and find application materials here.

Rising juniors and seniors majoring in political science or related fields at colleges and universities in DC, DE, MD, VA, and WV are welcome to apply to the PS-PSI. PS-PSI is designed for students interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in political science.

The PS-PSI pays for your travel expenses and for your lodging at Georgetown, and provides you with a $1,000 stipend. We offer you relevant materials in advance of the PS-PSI to help you prepare; provide the materials you will use at the Institute; and connect you with excellent resources to help you continue your path forward after the Institute.

The National Bureau of Asian Research (NBR) Undergraduate Diversity Fellowship aims to extend paid educational, professional, and mentorship opportunities to historically underrepresented groups, such as Black and brown community college and undergraduate students who are interested in pursuing a career in the field of international affairs or Asia policy.

NBR acknowledges the historical exclusion and underrepresentation of minorities and Black and brown professionals within U.S. foreign policy at all levels and is committed to opening the door to minority voices and perspectives in policy. Through the Undergraduate Diversity Fellowship Program, NBR hopes to begin closing the accessibility gap in the field of International Affairs and to continue to shape the next generation of bright, diverse leaders.

Starting in May, fellows will work 5-10 hours a week remotely prior to their 10-12-week summer internship in NBR's D.C. office. Fellows will become acquainted with NBR, get to know their supervisors and other employees, set goals, and attend NBR events. This training period will allow for supervisors to provide a well-rounded mentoring experience for their fellows before their internship and afterwards. Fellows will learn about NBR and the think tank industry, be introduced to the different teams at NBR, and become familiar with NBR projects.
