Engage With Our Scholars

PNPI’s Summer Scholars Program brings talented undergrad and graduate students to Washington, D.C. to learn about federal higher education policy. In addition to the work that they do for us, we offer our scholars a chance to network with individuals currently working in the field in hopes that we can inspire them to someday join the community’s work! 

If you have at least two years of experience working in federal postsecondary policy in the government, nonprofit, or advocacy sectors, we invite you support their professional development by:

  • Signing up to meet with a scholar for coffee,
  • Allowing a scholar to shadow you for half a day (3-4 hours), or
  • Inviting scholars to policy events your organization may be hosting.

If you are interested in working with our scholars in one of these ways, please submit the following form indicating who you are, what organization you are from, and which types of opportunities you are interested in.
