The John Heinz Senate Fellowship program provides an opportunity for mid-career professionals in aging to learn public policy as a member of the U.S. Senate staff. Intended as a career development opportunity for professionals, the year-long program will provide first-hand knowledge in the drafting and advancement of public policy and legislation that will improve the quality of life for older Americans.

The program honors the memory of the late U.S. Senator John Heinz, who spent much of his career as an outspoken advocate for the rights of older Americans. Candidates seeking consideration as Heinz Senate Fellows must be already active in an aging-related field and display the potential for future contributions to that area.

The 2007 Fellowship runs from September 2007 to August 2008
Application deadline is March 30, 2007
