Scholars in the Nation’s Service Initiative (SINSI)

The Scholars in the Nation’s Service Initiative (SINSI) encourages students to consider careers with the U.S. federal government. SINSI offers a four-year program open to all Princeton undergraduates, and to students who are in the first year of our MPA program. In this graduate fellowship, students study for a year in the MPA program, work for two years at an executive branch department or agency with a fully paid stipend, and then complete the master’s program. SINSI also supports a summer internship program for Princeton undergraduates.
