>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 Dell Thurmond Woodard Fellowship, 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.  
>
>The application for both of these Fellowships is the same, except 
>that those applying for the Dell Thurmond Woodard Fellowship will 
>need to include an additional essay on diversity and ethics.
>
>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 2008 Fellowship runs from June 16th - August 8th, 2008. 
>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.
