The National Security Education Program (NSEP) David L. Boren Graduate Fellowships enable U.S. graduate students to pursue specialization in area and language study or to add an international dimension to their education. Boren Fellowships support students pursuing the study of languages, cultures, and world regions that are critical to U.S. national security but are less frequently studied by U.S. graduate students, i.e., areas of the world other than Western Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. It is hoped that recipients of Boren Fellowships will comprise an ever-growing cadre of experts whose enriched educational and professional experiences will enable them to provide leadership and direction in our national commitment to economic growth, international peace and security, and the promotion of democracy abroad. The Academy for Educational Development (AED) considers it a distinct pleasure to serve as the administrative agent for this important program. Capital City
Fellowship The Capital City Fellows Program (CCFP) is an initiative of Mayor Anthony Williams to attract recent graduates of master's degree programs in public administration, public policy, urban planning, and related fields to work for the city of Washington, DC. Candidates compete for two-year fellowship appointments during which they complete four six-month rotations in different city agencies, including the Office of the City Administrator, Office of Personnel, Office of the Chief Financial Officer, Department of Human Services, Department of Motor Vehicles, Department of Transportation, and the Metropolitan Police Department. In addition to on-the-job training in their host agencies, Fellows are given unique opportunities to meet with high-level city officials and participate in educational and professional development seminars. The program prepares Fellows to meet the challenges of local government public service and develops management talent for the city. Fellows begin their service in July of each year and are selected through a competitive application process. Congressional
Fellowship on Women and Public Policy WREI awards annual fellowships to a select number of graduate students with a proven commitment to equity for women. WREI Fellows gain practical policymaking experience and graduate credit as they work from January to August as Congressional legislative aides in Washington, D.C. Fellows receive stipends for tuition and living expenses. The WREI fellowship program is designed to: promote more effective participation by women in the formulation of policy options; promote activities that encourage the translation of research into policy; raise awareness that national and international issues concerning women are interdependent; advance better understanding of how policies affect women and men differently; express greater appreciation of the fact that issues often defined as "women's issues" are really of equal importance to men. Fellows are selected on the basis of academic competence as well as their demonstrated interest in the public policy process. They are expected to be articulate and adaptable and to have strong writing skills. Only students who are currently in, or have recently completed, a graduate or professional-degree program at an accredited institution in the United States are eligible. Coro Fellows

Field assignments, site visits, interviews and special individual and group projects and consultancies prepare Coro Fellows to translate their ideals into action for improving their own communities. Sixty-four Fellows are chosen annually each year through a highly competitive selection process. They represent a broad range of cultural, racial and economic backgrounds, ages, interests, and academic and work experience, but all are committed to excellence in public affairs.

Fellows Program The Democracy Fellows Program (DFP), funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), supports approximately 14 Democracy Fellowships annually, awarding approximately 4-6 new Democracy Fellowships each year. Fellows work in USAID missions abroad or in Washington offices, helping to implement USAID programs to promote or strengthen democratic practices and institutions in transitional or emerging democracies. Fellowships are based upon the specific needs and democracy programs of the particular USAID missions and offices that sponsor individual fellowships. Fellows might work in activities such as providing policy analysis and advice; developing program indicators or methodologies; providing technical comment on USAID projects or activities; or helping USAID contractors that have been engaged to provide electoral planning assistance, to work with civil society organizations, or to strengthen legislatures, local governments, or the rule of law. The specific assignments for each fellowship will be established by the sponsoring USAID organization in a workplan, which will be discussed by USAID and the pertinent candidate following tentative selection for a fellowship.
