Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress (CSPC) Presidential Fellows Program

Since 1970, Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress (CSPC) fellows have traveled to Washington, D.C. to learn about leadership and governance, to share their outstanding research and to explore careers in public service. While attending the conference, the fellows participate in workshops where they present and receive peer feedback on their research projects. The fellows also have the opportunity to engage with policy experts, government officials and leaders in the legislative process. 

The At-Large program allows students who do not attend a CSPC partner institution to participate in the Presidential Fellows program. CSPC particularly welcomes applications from members of minority groups historically underrepresented in this program and similar leadership development initiatives.
