Junior Fellows Program
Each year the Endowment offers 8-10 one-year fellowships to uniquely qualified graduating seniors and individuals who have graduated during the past academic year. They are selected from a pool of nominees from close to 400 participating colleges. Carnegie Junior Fellows work as research assistants to the Endowment's senior associates. Those who have begun graduate studies are not eligible for consideration. Carnegie Endowment's nomination deadline is January 15 of each year. Colleges generally set an earlier application deadline. See your school’s Nominating Official to learn more about the college application process.
More About the Junior Fellows Program

Ashesh Prasann, Junior Fellow, 2008-2009
"I’ve learned how to position academic work in a way that can be most helpful and influential in impacting policy."
Lauren Falcao, Junior Fellow, 2008-2009
"Altogether, the knowledge that I’ve acquired and the connections and friendships gained will have clear lasting effects on my future, both personally and professionally. I am fortunate for all of this."
