>The <http://www.tisdalefellowship.org/>Eben Tisdale Fellowship, 
>which includes a $5,000 grant, is a summer internship available to 
>undergraduate and graduate students where the high-tech sector meets 
>the government.  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 should 
>include an additional essay on diversity and ethics.
>
>The Fellowship has two main elements:
>
>(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 Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Philips Electronics and Monster 
>Worldwide, as well as associations such as the 
><http://www.bsa.org/>Business Software Alliance or 
><http://www.techamerica.org/>TechAmerica.
>
>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 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 February 15, 2010.

>"I had a blast this summer. I loved 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."
