The Catherine Hinman Memorial Fellowship creates opportunities for graduate students from across the country pursuing public policy careers, with background studies in economics, applied sciences, and international affairs, to gain practical experience and grow professional networks in Washington DC. Fellows will develop technical writing and research skills, be immersed into federal policy-making and international affairs, and sow the seeds of professional growth for years to come.
The Catherine Hinman Memorial Fellowship is hosted by the Silverado Policy Accelerator, a bipartisan geopolitical think tank focused on American prosperity and global competitiveness through investment in economic, strategic, and technological policy solutions. Some Fellows may have the opportunity for summer placements at other policy organizations based in Washington, D.C. that are involved in similar focal areas.
Silverado introduces Fellows to different career pathways by facilitating networking with DC-based professionals from across the U.S. Government, non-profit organizations, business, and academia. In addition, we aid in introducing each Fellow to professionals in their field of interest to guide their success in the Fellowship, and we work with each Fellow to complete a final project of practical application that also advances Silverado's mission and the Fellows' career aspirations.
