The International Leadership Foundation (ILF) is pleased to announce that the application process for the 2019 Civic Fellowship Program is open until December 31, 2018. Every year, ILF’s selection committee identifies approximately 30 outstanding Asian Pacific American (APA) college students to spend 8 to 10 weeks interning at a federal agency in Washington DC during the summer.
Students accepted into the program are known as Civic Fellows and will receive a stipend of $2,000 upon program completion. In addition to their full-time federal internships, they will attend professional development workshops and leadership training. Fellows are responsible for their own travel, housing, and living expenses.
