The Native American Political Leadership Program (NAPLP) is an academic
scholarship program designed specifically for Native Americans, Alaska
Natives, and Native Hawaiians.  Run concurrently with The George
Washington University's Semester In Washington program, NAPLP offers
Native American college students from across the country the opportunity
to study in Washington, DC in order to learn how public policy decisions
are made, how power is wielded, how government is run, and how
democratic politics functions in a free society.  The program involves
rigorous coursework in applied politics, hands-on professional
internships, development of relationships with mentors, and interaction
with Washington's political and policy decision-makers and leaders in
the Native American political community.  

 

Students from across Alaska have attended the program over the last
three years. One has gone back and is running for local office in Nome.
Others have started new careers, gone on to graduate school or moved to
DC to start a life in politics. The program is specifically designed for
students interested in making a difference back home, in their local
governments and tribal communities. 


Please feel free to contact us directly, at any time, for more
information about the program or for instructions on applying. The
DEADLINE has been extended for Alaskan Native students only. 

If interested please apply, email or call us BEFORE Tuesday, November
18th! 

 

We look forward to hearing from you!
