Fellowships
The Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies (APAICS) administers three separate fellowship programs that place graduate students or professionals with a commitment to the Asian American or Pacific Islander communities into congressional offices or federal agencies for nine months of hands-on research and policy work.
To talented college graduates and students pursuing post-graduate study, APAICS offers three fellowships. These fellowships range between $20,000 to $30,000 for a nine-month period of living expenses. These Fellows are placed in Congress, federal agencies or non-profit organizations. Such fellowships give opportunities for particularly talented APA youth to more fully experience a longer duration of working in the public policy process. Also, these fellowships provide their recipients with a great support network and valuable experience.
Fellows have been selected for the 2009-2010 year. The names and sponsors of each fellowship are as follows: The Anheuser-Busch/Congressman Frank Horton Fellow, the Wal-Mart/former Governor of Hawaii George R. Ariyoshi Fellow, and the National Realtor Association fellow.
