Subject: Tisdale & Woodward Fellowships, Final Deadline Feb. 15



Thank you for helping us recruit top engineering, computer science,
business and public policy students for the Eben Tisdale and Dell
Thurmond Woodward Fellowships. I wanted to remind you that our final
deadline of February 15th is only a week away.

 

It includes a $5,000 grant, as well as internships in the D.C. offices
such as Dell, HP, Philips Electronics and the Business Software
Alliance. For more information, read below, and visit our website,
www.tisdalefellowship.org <http://www.tisdalefellowship.org/> . 

 

Know anyone else who would benefit from a high-tech public policy
internship? Please pass the following announcement along to any
students, graduate or undergraduate, interested in the cutting edge
world where the latest in technology intersect with public policy. 

 

If you have any questions, please contact me at
info at tisdalefellowship.org, or 202/986-0384.

 

Best regards,

 

Jonathan Tilley

Coordinator, Eben Tisdale Fellowship

 

The Eben 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 2008 Fellowship runs from June 16th - August 8th, 2008. 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.
