APSA Congressional Fellowship Program Information Session
Thursday, August 6, 2026 | 3:00 PM (ET)
Join APSA for an informational webinar that aims to provide an overview of the APSA-sponsored fellowship, including application and program timelines, stipends, and qualification requirements.
The Congressional Fellowship Program (CFP), founded in 1953, has brought together select political scientists, journalists, federal employees, health specialists, and other professionals to Capitol Hill to experience Congress at work through fellowship placements in congressional staffs. Join us to learn about the CFP fellowship experience and resources for alumni of the program.
The Congressional Fellowship Program
The American Political Science Association Congressional Fellowship Program is a highly selective, nonpartisan program devoted to expanding knowledge and awareness of Congress.
The ten-month program begins each November with an intensive one-month introduction to Congress taught by leading experts in the field. After orientation, fellows work in placements of their choosing and also participate in ongoing seminars and enrichment programs. Through this unique opportunity, the American Political Science Association enhances public understanding of policymaking and improves the quality of scholarship, teaching and reporting on American national politics.
