The Public Policy and International Affairs Program (PPIA)'s Junior Summer Institute (JSI) Fellowship Program is a seven-week, high-intensity experience that aims to address the lack of diversity in the public service field by propelling rising leaders toward graduate school and beyond. Hosted at one of the Junior Summer Institute sites, including top public policy graduate schools at Harvard, Princeton or the University of Michigan (each with its own area of expertise in public policy and public service), fellows will sharpen their analytical edge, expand their policy expertise, and build a powerful network of peers, faculty, and employers who will champion their journey well beyond the program.

There is an expectation that participants will attend graduate school at a PPIA consortium school in pursuit of a degree in public policy, public administration, or international affairs.
