The State Policy Fellowship program is a two-year research-oriented fellowship dedicated to making change through careful research, thoughtful advocacy, and strong partnerships in a state policy context. For more detail, please read through the goals and application details below.
Applications will be accepted through February 28, 2023.
The Fellowship program has three main goals:
Making a difference for low-income families and communities
State Policy Fellows tackle domestic policy challenges in areas including health care, taxes, anti-poverty policy, education, immigration, state-tribal policy, and criminal justice. Working in independent, highly respected policy organizations located across the country, Fellows analyze the impact of state budget and tax policy choices on low-income residents and promote positive reforms.
Bringing diverse perspectives to state policy debates
To expand the diversity of voices that speak with authority in state policy debates, the program identifies highly motivated candidates who have a demonstrated interest in working on public policies that affect low-income communities, communities of color, and tribal communities, with particular interest in candidates who have experience with communities that are underrepresented in state policy debates.
Launching careers
State Policy Fellows spend two years with an influential state-based policy organization, the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, or the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. Fellows research and analyze current policy issues; brief policymakers, journalists, and civic leaders; and engage with advocates and community groups.
