The goal of the PPIA Fellowship Program is to help students achieve a Master's or joint degree, typically in public policy, public administrations, international affairs or a related field. The organization does this through partnerships with universities across the country, and through an alumni network that provides opportunities to connect with nearly 4,000 individuals who share the same interest in public service. Each year, PPIA seeks out high-potential undergraduate students from universities across the country to participate in a Junior Summer institute before their senior year. During their program, fellows are equipped with the knowledge and skills they will need to succeed in graduate school and ultimately, in influential roles serving the public good.
