Presidential Fellow Academic and Professional Development Fund

The Presidential Fellowship Academic and Professional Development Fund, started in 2013, supports current fellows seeking experientially-oriented professional and academic development conference and training opportunities outside the university to complement their academic programs and their GW placement and leadership experiences. 

Fellows who are recipients of the fund must submit a statement describing the conference, its relevance to their professional development and if they would recommend it to future students. Recipients also discuss their experience with other fellows at a weekly meeting.

To date, the Presidential Fellowship Academic and Professional Development Fund has supported over 14 requests to attend a variety of professional conferences and development experiences. Below are a few examples:
