The 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 three informational webinars on January 22, February 4, and February 13 to provide more information on the Fellowship and answer any questions from potential applicants. You can register for the webinars below.

Science & Technology Policy Summer Fellowship:

The Fellowship 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.
