#summer internships

The Google Policy Fellowship is now accepting applications in North America. 2015 will mark the eighth summer of this program, which places undergraduate and graduate students at key tech policy think tanks and NGOs. Applications are open now through March 12, 2015.

Please help recruit top talent to this program! Our blog post has details about the program and application process that you can share with friends, alumni networks, and anyone else who is interested. Note that while Google facilitates the program and sponsors the fellows, we do not participate in the selection process. Host organizations choose their fellows directly.

This program has been great way to grow the next generation of tech policy advocates and build relationships with them at an early stage.  In fact, a large number of Google Policy Fellows have become full time policy staff at their host organizations. Program alumni also have gone on to work for regulatory agencies, in academia, and at start ups.

If you have friends who are interested in the program and have questions beyond what is covered on the site, please feel free to connect them directly to [email protected].

Last summer, students from all over the US and Canada gathered to explore pressing questions at the intersection of technology and policy. Whether working on data security standards at the National Consumers League or innovation economy issues at the R Street Institute, students gained hands-on experience tackling critical technology policy questions.

2015 is just beginning, but these issues show no signs of slowing down. We’re excited to announce the 8th annual Google Policy Fellowship, which connects students interested in emerging technology policy issues with leading nonprofits, think tanks, and advocacy groups.

Applications are open today for North America, and students of all levels and disciplines are welcome to apply before Thursday, March 12th.
