are pleased to announce the new CHCI Maxwell Fellowship and CBCF Maxwell Fellowship Awards as testament to our commitment to a diverse public service and in recognition of the talented individuals that CHCI and CBCF mentor throughout the year.  We have appreciated the opportunity to showcase the versatility of graduate degrees in the fields of public policy, administration and international affairs to talented and promising young professionals that these organizations bring to Washington, DC each semester for their internship programs.  We expect these new Fellowships to strengthen these already well-established partnerships.

Beginning with the 2016 admissions cycle, and continuing thereafter, each admitted CHCI or CBCF intern (current or former) will be provided a tuition scholarship valued at $10,000 upon admission. They will also be considered for additional funding through our traditional awards process. The CHCI Maxwell Fellowship Awards and CBCF Maxwell Fellowship Awards will be provided to eligible students admitted into the MPA, MA IR or any other PA/IR joint degree, with the exception of dual JD degree candidates.  A letter of support attesting to the successful completion of their internship will be required for the official administration of these awards.
