Aspen Policy Academy is thrilled to announce the launch of our summer 2025 Science & Technology Policy Fellowship. The fellowship will teach science and technology experts with limited policy experience how to impact policy.

We are hosting two informational webinars on January 22 and February 4 to provide more information on the fellowship and answer any questions from potential applicants. You can register for the webinars below.

Science & Technology Summer Fellowship:

The fellowship and will consist of two blocks: 1) a mandatory, in-person, full-time, immersive policy bootcamp that teaches participants the basics of policymaking and 2) an optional final project. The policy bootcamp will take place from June 3-27, 2025, at the Tides Converge in San Francisco. Fellows will have the option to work remotely part-time on a final project from June 30-August 25, 2025. You can view past fellows’ projects here.

Any US-based science and technology professional can apply, but this year, we will prioritize admitting those who work in one of three priority areas: emerging technology, cybersecurity, and climate. We will also prioritize individuals who work directly with communities that face marginalization and/or that seek to tackle disparities around race and ethnicity, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, and other aspects of diversity.

Accepted fellows will receive a $7,500 stipend to defray the costs of participating in the in-person fellowship (e.g., food and lodging). Out-of-town participants will also receive a small stipend to cover travel to the Bay Area. Those who opt into and successfully complete the optional final project phase will be awarded an additional $5,000. See here to apply for the fellowship.
