Introducing students to tech public policy through semester projects with state and local governments

About us

The Paragon Fellowship aims to connect students with opportunities in the science and tech policy space. Fellows will spend 5 hours a week researching and writing a policy brief on key issues for their state and local governments, with topics ranging from broadband infrastructure, renewable energy, to AI procurement. The fellowship is a hands-on, project-based experience, designed to introduce students to the tech policy landscape and grow their network and impact through local community engagement.
