The Maryland
Leadership Institute is designed to prepare culturally diverse students for
graduate study and professional careers in the fields of public policy and
international affairs. This intensive seven-week program offers participants
an opportunity to closely explore international and domestic policy
analysis. A strong emphasis is placed on improving quantitative and analytic
skills, which are necessary for graduate study preparation.
In addition to being the host
institution for the junior summer policy component of the
Institute for International
Public Policy (IIPP) fellowship program and the
Thomas
Pickering Foreign Affairs Fellowship (FAF) Program, the Maryland
Leadership Institute selects several talented students each year to be
Public Policy and International Affairs
(PPIA) Fellows. IIPP, FAF, and PPIA Fellows all receive $1000 stipends
for participating in the program, plus assistance with travel, university
housing and meal plans, and all books and related course supplies.
The ideal location of the College
Park campus (strategically located between Baltimore, MD and Washington DC),
allows fellows an opportunity to be actively engaged in the policy community
through site visits at various policy institutions and interaction with
public officials on the local, state and national level in the public,
private and non-profit sectors.
Fellows are also provided with
professional development training, and opportunities to engage in the
culture and history of the nation's capital.
