Our research fellowships are open to current sophomores and juniors who, if selected, will carry out research in the field of public policy & international affairs during the 2022-2023/24 academic year(s). The research project can be an ongoing project with a faculty member or a project that is proposed by the student. Either way, the student will require an SMU faculty mentor.

The Tower Center internships are for undergraduate students who want to pursue internships in public policy & international affairs in Washington, D.C. for summer 2022. Congressional internships do not qualify for these internship awards.
