The Heinz College Fellowship | Master of Science in Public Policy and Management
We are committed to enabling the next generation of changemakers to create the impact they desire.
Students selected for the Heinz College Fellowship receive a full-tuition scholarship. One of our most prestigious awards, selected students are identified as part of the standard admissions process. No additional application is required.
The Heinz College Fellowship is a cohort-based leadership and engagement program that brings together a small group of incoming students across all programs in the college who will help strengthen our community, contribute to the life of the College, and serve as thoughtful partners in shaping the student experience.
Heinz Fellows are expected to participate in College-wide activities and a shared experience with a small cohort of other students. This program is intended to enrich and further prepare emerging leaders who share a commitment to academic excellence, professional impact and service in their fields.
As a Heinz Fellow you will have an opportunity to further shape and influence our programs and student experience.
