The Drum
Major Institute for Public Policy created DMI Scholars to identify progressive college activists
from underrepresented communities and train them in the skills necessary to
succeed in entry-level public policy positions. We are pleased to announce that applications are now available for the
2012 Class of DMI Scholars! To apply, please download the application here: http://bit.ly/DMIScholars2012
DMI Scholars is a “Public Policy 101”
for young people who want to keep our country moving forward. Our two-week DMI Scholars Summer
Institute will be in New York City during Summer 2012. There, Scholars will
learn to approach problems through a policy lens and meet people on the
frontlines fighting for fair and just public policy. After our intensive summer
training, we will help students throughout the year explore careers in the
field through internships and follow-up trainings.
With
DMI’s network and expertise, DMI Scholars will become the future Legislative
Directors, Policy Analysts and Advisors who fuel the progressive movement with
new ideas and effective advocacy.
Applicants
should be sharp, creative college sophomores and juniors with a passion for
changing the world, strong communication skills, and an interest in exploring
public policy as a vehicle for their activism. We strongly encourage students of color, immigrants,
members of the LGBTQ community and students from low-income and working class
backgrounds to apply. All expenses are paid.
Application deadline: January 31, 2012.
