[NYCInfoLaw] 1Ls - Consider the Eben Tisdale Fellowship

[Kate Vershov]

Hi Everyone,

The Eben Tisdale Public Policy Fellowship is still accepting applications
for the coming summer. Please Forward to following to anyone who may be
interested, and post our website to any tech/political FB groups you may be
a part of. The deadline is Feb. 15.

The Tisdale Fellowship, which includes a $5,000 grant, is a summer
internship available to undergraduate and graduate students. The program
offers outstanding opportunities for students to learn about high tech
public policy issues with hands-on experience in Washington, D.C. Tisdale
Fellowships are open to students from colleges and universities all over the
country.

The Dell Thurmond Woodard Fellowship, which includes one $5,000 grant for
one student each year, is part of the Tisdale Fellowship program. Any
student, undergraduate or graduate, who is interested in diversity and
ethics issues, and in learning about high-tech public policy issues, can
apply for this Fellowship.

The application for both of these Fellowships is the same, except that those
applying for the Dell Thurmond Woodard Fellowship will need to include an
additional essay on diversity and ethics.

The Fellowship has two main elements:

(1) Internship: Fellows do an eight-week internship in the government
relations office of a leading high technology company or association. In the
recent past, fellows have interned at such companies as Agilent
Technologies, Hewlett-Packard, Philips Electronics and Infotech Strategies
as well as associations such as the Business Software Alliance.

2) Issues Seminar: The issues seminar is a weekly lunch hosted by the
different sponsoring companies and associations. Expert speakers lead
discussions of current public policy issues in Washington, and the methods
the high technology industry uses for effective advocacy.

The Summer 2009 Fellowship runs from June 15th – August 8th, 2009. The goal
of the Fellowship is to create a supportive and collegial environment in
which a new class of public policy professionals will be mentored to help
ensure that the high-tech industry continues to have highly capable and
well-trained individuals in both policy advocacy and senior management
positions.
