<blockquote type="cite" cite>The <a
href="http://www.tisdalefellowship.org/"><b>Eben Tisdale
Fellowship</b></a>, which includes a $5,000 grant, is a summer
internship available to undergraduate and graduate students where the

<blockquote type="cite" cite>The<b> Dell Thurmond Woodard
Fellowship</b>, which includes one $5,000 grant for one student each
year, is part of the Tisdale Fellowship program. Any student,
undergraduate or graduate, who is interested in diversity and ethics
issues, and in learning about high-tech public policy issues, can
apply for this Fellowship. </blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite>The application for both of these
Fellowships is the same, except that those applying for the Dell
Thurmond Woodard Fellowship should include an additional essay on
diversity and ethics.</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite> </blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>The Fellowship has two main
elements:</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite> </blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>(1) Internship: Fellows
participate an eight-week internship in the government relations
office of a leading high technology company or association. In
the recent past, fellows have interned at such companies as<b> Dell,
Hewlett-Packard, Philips Electronics</b> and<b> Monster Worldwide</b>,
as well as associations such as the <a
href="http://www.bsa.org/"><b>Business Software Alliance</b></a> or <a
href="http://www.techamerica.org/"><b>TechAmerica</b></a>.</blockquote
>
<blockquote type="cite" cite> </blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>2) Issues Seminar: The issues
seminar is a weekly lunch hosted by the different sponsoring companies
and associations. Expert speakers lead discussions of current
public policy issues in Washington, and the methods the high
technology industry uses for effective advocacy.</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite> </blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>The Summer 2010 Fellowship runs from June
14th - August 6th, 2010. The goal of the Fellowship is to create a
supportive and collegial environment in which a new class of public
policy professionals will be mentored to help ensure that the
high-tech industry continues to have highly capable and well-trained
individuals in both policy advocacy and senior management positions.
The Final deadline for all applications is<b> February 15,
2010</b>.</blockquote>

the nature of my job, I loved the place where I worked and the people
with whom I worked, and I love DC. I cannot think of a better way to
spend the summer learning about the private-industry sector in
Washington DC than to be a Tisdale Fellow. You will be matched with
high-quality tech organizations that take seriously the mission of the
Fellowship. I highly recommend this program."</i></blockquote>
