Emerging Fellowship

The Roosevelt Network has always championed new paradigms and invested in the people pushing them forward. This intersection of paradigm-shifting ideas and deep investment in people inspired us to create the Emerging Fellowship, with the goal of providing Network students with an opportunity to have their work published by Roosevelt.

Note: We’re currently reviewing applications for the 2026 Fellowship Cohort. All applicants will receive an admission decision no later than March 16, 2026.

The Emerging Fellowship is a yearlong, policy writing–focused fellowship experience designed for students in the last one to two years of their undergraduate degree program. This rigorous and advanced fellowship offers progressive-minded students the opportunity to dive deeper into policy research and writing.

A group of sixteen young adults poses indoors at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library & Museum. Fifteen sit or stand in rows, while one person lies smiling on the floor in front. All appear happy and relaxed.

Emerging Fellows will:

Receive training across key skill areas necessary for them to understand the progressive policy landscape;
Engage with local advocates and policy experts; and
Produce a short policy brief at the end of the fellowship experience.
