Office of Graduate Student Assistantships and Fellowships (OGSAF) - The George Washington University

Bryce Harlow Fellowship Program

Since 1985, the Bryce Harlow Foundation has awarded fellowships to highly motivated students in pursuit of a career in professional advocacy through government relations and lobbying. The Foundation considers its Bryce Harlow Fellows to be the future of professional advocacy — those who are committed to practicing the art and science of lobbying with the highest level of integrity. Fellowships are awarded to individuals who work full-time and undertake graduate level studies on a part-time basis. Graduate programs may include, but are not limited to, public policy, law, and business. The $9,000 award will help defray tuition costs and will be paid directly to the university in two installments. In addition to the monetary award, fellows also have a unique opportunity to participate in the Bryce Harlow Foundation Mentoring Program, an offering that pairs a fellow with one of the Foundation's board members. Board members are highly visible in the Washington public policy arena and are successful business-government relations professionals. Past mentors have included senior executives at Target, Google, the National Restaurant Association, and Holland & Knight LLP. Students selected as Bryce Harlow Fellows are encouraged to re-apply for the award during consecutive years in which they are eligible.
