The IIPP Fellowship program provides students with specially designed education and training experiences critical to entry and
advancement in international affairs careers. Students are recruited from across the nation and apply as sophomores to participate in a
five-year sequence of summer policy institutes, study abroad, intensive language training, internships, and graduate study. UNCFSP is
aided in the student recruitment effort by its institutional partners and distinguished selection panels comprised of U.S. ambassadors,
deans of schools of international affairs, graduate school admissions directors, foundation executives, and IIPP alumni. The IIPP
established the Sophomore Summer Policy Institute (SSPI) at Clark Atlanta University’s School of International Affairs and
Development in 1995. Each year a new class of fellows begins the program at the eight-week SSPI. The course of study includes
International Politics, Research Methods, U.S. Foreign Policy, International Business, Economics, and selected area studies. Fellows
who successfully complete the Sophomore Summer Policy Institute participate in the Junior Year Study Abroad component. Fellows
may study for one or two semesters at an approved overseas institution. The IIPP provides funding for as much as one-half of the total
cost of study abroad, with the unmet half being covered by a combination of government and institutional aid, as well as some
reasonable family contribution. Fellows attend the Junior Summer Policy Institute (JSPI) during the summer following the junior year.
Those without previously established language competency are required to participate in an intensive language-training program
during the summer following their senior year. They are also required to enroll in foreign language courses at their home institutions
to lay the foundation for a productive language training experience during the senior summer. Fellows who have established language
competency participate in a summer internship experience in lieu of intensive language training during the summer following the
senior year. For some who opt to defer graduate school for one year, the internship may span the fall and spring semesters as well.
Fellows who successfully complete each component of their respective fellowship sequences are eligible to receive graduate
fellowship assistance for a master’s degree in an international affairs-related field. Institutional members of the Association of
Professional Schools of International Affairs (APSIA), as partners in the IIPP effort, provide matching fellowship support as available.
Applicants must be a sophomore student, enrolled full-time at a four-year institution; be a U.S. Citizen or permanent resident; have a
minimum 3.2 grade point average (on a 4.0 scale); have a strong interest in a career in international service, and an underrepresented
minority: African American, Hispanic/Latino American, American Indian, Asian American, Alaskan Native, Native Hawaiian, or
