The Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress (CSPC) Presidential Fellows Program recognizes top juniors and sophomores with focused research interests related to the U.S. Presidency and/or Congress, who want to learn about leadership and governance, to share their outstanding research and scholarship, to develop as future leaders of character, and to be inspired to careers in public service. Fellows select a research field and policy scenario and develop a research paper related to the topic. Fellows conduct research with faculty at their home institution and engage in collaborative work to complement policy research and writing. The Fellows participate in two three-day leadership conferences in Washington, DC during fall and spring. The Fellows also have the opportunity to engage with policy experts, government officials, and leaders in the legislative process.
