White House Fellow Program Accepting Applications

[Guest guest]

8) White House Fellow Program Accepting Applications

Deadline: February 1, 2003

The President's Commission on White House Fellowships is now accepting

applications for the 2003-2004 class.

Founded in 1964, the program is designed to offer exceptional young men

and women first-hand experience working at the highest levels of the

federal government.

White House Fellows typically spend a year working as full-time, paid

special assistants to senior White House staff, the vice president,

cabinet secretaries, and other government officials. Fellows also

participate in an education program consisting of roundtable discussions

with leaders from the private and public sectors and trips to study U.S.

policy in action both domestically and internationally.

Selection as a White House Fellow is based on a combination of the

following criteria: a record of remarkable professional achievement

early in one's career; evidence of leadership skills and the potential

for further growth; a demonstrated commitment to public service; and the

knowledge and skills necessary to contribute successfully at the highest

levels of the federal government.

Applicants must be U.S. citizens. There are no age restrictions;

however, the program was created to give young Americans this experience

early in their careers. Applicants should be finished with their

undergraduate education and working in their chosen professions.
