The 2023 US Google Public Policy Fellowship for Graduates
The Google Public Policy Fellowship Program provides full–time policy internships to graduate students seeking degrees in public policy, law, computer science, international relations, business, or another relevant field. The program was founded in 2006 with the purpose of providing unique opportunities to engage with public policy issues at the local, national, and global levels.
The U.S. Google Public Policy Fellowship is offered year-round to students passionate about the internet and technology policy. Chosen fellows will spend a semester operating at a public interest organization at the forefront of debates on tech policy issues.
Fellows will be given a lead mentor at a host organization and will have the opportunity to work with several senior staff members over the course of the semester contributing to the public dialogue on tech policy issues and exploring future academic and professional interests. Fellows will be expected to make substantive contributions to the work of their organization, including conducting policy research and analysis, drafting reports and white papers, attending government and industry meetings and conferences, and participating in other advocacy activities.
