Lisa Gates / / Fellowships

We are excited to announce that the 2016-2017 White House Fellows application is now LIVE. The deadline for application submission is January 12, 2016. Are you a US citizen, committed to public service, interested in making a difference in government?

WHAT IS A WHITE HOUSE FELLOWSHIP?

Over the course of nine presidential administrations the non-partisan White House Fellows program has become the nation’s premiere fellowship for public service and leadership. White House Fellows are remarkable Americans with a commitment to service who come to Washington to gain first-hand, high-level experience in the Federal government and develop themselves as leaders. The fellowship year consists of a full-time work placement in the offices of Cabinet Secretaries, senior White House staff, and other high-ranking Administration officials. In addition, Fellows participate in a robust education program designed to provide a behind-the-scenes look at leadership in government, non-profits, business, the media and more. Learn more about the White House Fellows program here.
