> The Tisdale Fellowship, which includes a $5,000 grant, is a summer  
> internship available to undergraduate and graduate students.  The  
> program offers outstanding opportunities for students to learn  
> about high tech public policy issues with hands-on experience in  
> Washington, D.C.  Tisdale Fellowships are open to students from  
> colleges and universities all over the country.
>
> The Fellowship has two main elements:
>
> (1) Internship:  Fellows do 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 Agilent Technologies, Hewlett-Packard, Philips  
> Electronics and Infotech Strategies as well as associations such as  
> the Business Software Alliance.
>
> 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.
>
> The Summer 2007 Fellowship runs from June 18th – August 10th,  
> 2007. 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.
