About the Fellowship
The PPIA program prepares undergraduates to be competitive candidates for top degree
programs in the fields of public policy, public administration or international affairs through participation
in a Junior Summer Institute (JSI).
JSI is an intensive, 7-week, academic program during the summer at one of these host campuses:
• The Ford School - University of Michigan
• The Goldman School - UC Berkeley
• Heinz College - Carnegie Mellon University
• Princeton School of Public and International Affairs - Princeton University
Eligible candidates are current undergrads who will be completing their B.A. between December 2016 and
August 2017. The deadline to apply is November 1, 2015.
Benefits of Participation
• Full tuition at a PPIA Junior Summer Institute.
• Eligibility to receive assistance with travel expenses.
