WREI - Congressional Fellowships on Women and Public Policy

The Women's Research and Education Institute (WREI) Fellowship Program
is designed to: 1) encourage more effective participation by women in
the formulation of policy options that recognize the needs of all people;
2) promote activities that encourage the translation of research into
policy; 3) raise the awareness that national and international issues 
concerning women are interdependent; and 4) increase understanding that
those issues often defined as "women's issues" are, in fact, "human
issues" of equal importance to both women and men.

Congressional Fellowships on Women and Public Policy: Congressional
    Fellows spend nine months working in the offices of a member of
    Congress or on congressional committee staffs.  

Eligibility: Applicants must be enrolled in a master's or doctoral degree
    program at an accredited institution in the U.S. 

Period: An intensive two-week orientation program for all Fellows begins
    on January 8, 2001, in Washington DC. Fellowship placement is from 
    January 29 through August 31, 2001. Fellows are granted a semester
    break of 10 days in April or May, depending on House and Senate
    calendars.

Stipend: Fellows receive a stipend of $1,150 per month for nine months
    of the academic year (January - September). An additional sum of $500
    is provided for the purchase of health insurance. WREI will also
    reimburse Fellows up to $1,500 ($750 per semester) for the cost of 3
    hours of tuition at their home institutions.
