Read on about the Hertog Fellowship and the Hudson Institute Fellow.
Each year, the Hertog Foundation brings together top college students to the nation’s capital to explore the theory and practice of politics in an intensive seminar setting with outstanding faculty. Political Studies Fellows take courses in a wide variety of subjects, from political philosophy to contemporary public affairs, from economics to foreign policy. In the afternoons and evenings, they have the opportunity to hear from leaders in American government and politics. All fellows receive residential accommodations and a $2,500 stipend to offset travel and living expenses.
Interested applicants are encouraged to attend our virtual Open House on February 9 at 5:30 PM ET: we will provide an overview of our offerings and address questions about the fellowships.
