Newcomb College Institute sponsors a Lindy Boggs Congressional Fellowship through Women’s Policy Inc. (WPI) each year. WPI awards annual fellowships to a select number of graduate students with a proven commitment to equity for women, and fellows gain practical policymaking experience and graduate credit as they work from January to August as Congressional legislative aides in Washington, D.C. Fellows work a minimum of 40 hours each week in a congressional office as a legislative aide on policy issues affecting women.
Students who are currently enrolled in a master’s or doctoral program at Tulane University or who have completed such a program within the past 18 months are eligible. NCI alumnae and affiliates are particularly encouraged to apply. NCI strongly recommends that applicants complete at least nine hours of graduate coursework before applying and display serious interest in research and policymaking relevant to women’s issues.
