Founded in 1953, the APSA Congressional Fellowship Program is the nation’s oldest and most prestigious congressional fellowship. More than sixty years later, the program remains devoted to its original objective of expanding knowledge and awareness of Congress. For nine months, select political scientists, journalists, doctors, federal executives, and international scholars gain "hands on" understanding of the legislative process by serving on congressional staffs. Through this unique opportunity, the association enhances public understanding of policy-making and improves the quality of scholarship, teaching, and reporting on American national politics. For more information about the program visit www.apsanet.org/cfp. The placements for 2016–2017 are listed below.
