118th Congress Stennis Congressional Staff Fellows Application

Welcome to the application process for the 118th Congress Stennis Congressional Staff Fellows Program. For your convenience, the application form is completed and submitted online. Your answers are confidential and will be shared only with the members of the independent selection committee.

The application form includes three short essay questions. Prepare your answers in a separate document and upload the document to the online application form.

The independent selection committee carefully reviews each application, with particular attention to your short essay answers and your career profile or resume. In the selection of the up to 34 Fellows for the 118th Congress, the independent selection committee also considers factors such as balanced representation from each political party and chamber, diversity, and overall benefits to the Stennis Fellows program. That is why only one staff leader from any member office is likely to be selected for the 118th Congress Stennis Fellows Program. The number of staff leaders selected from each committee will, in part, depend on the size of the committee. 

The deadline for receipt of the application form is Wednesday, March 1, 2023.

If you have any additional questions, please contact Jenny Winkler, Director of Congressional Programs, at jenny@stennis.gov or 202-270-2100.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE APPLICATION FORM CANNOT BE SAVED IN ORDER TO BE CONTINUED AT A LATER TIME.
