CSPC (Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress) International Fellows Program

The International Fellows Program sponsored by the CSPC (Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress) brings together students from top flight universities in the United States, as well as other countries, twice a year (one week in the fall semester (October) and spring semester (March)) in Washington D.C. to meet with key members of the White House and Congress to discuss U.S. policy and other topics, after which they produce a paper on a particular topic of research. Each year around 60 students participate, with participants coming from the U.S., as well as Japan, Brazil, Canada, Hungary, Mexico, Spain, and elsewhere. Since 2011, the USJI has been responsible for selecting and sending two to three outstanding students from sponsoring universities to the International Fellows Program each semester.
