The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars is bringing back a fellowship program for congressional staff, the think tank announced Monday.
The Washington think tank is charting a new course in the Trump era after the administration and its so-called Department of Government Efficiency targeted the federally funded center for downsizing early last year.
The Wilson Center is accepting applications for a spring 2026 session of its six-week, nonpartisan fellowship program for congressional staff, the center announced.
“Starting 2026 by re-launching our highly successful Congressional Fellowship Program is a significant step in continuing our mission to serve as a trusted, fiercely nonpartisan bridge between scholarship and public policy,” said Natasha Jacome, the Wilson Center’s president and CEO.
