ASME is celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the “ASME Federal Government Fellowship Program!” You too can “Engineer the Greater Good” by applying for a 2014-2015 ASME Congressional or USAID Fellowship! ASME is seeking individuals interested in serving as a 2014-2015 Congressional Fellow, who would spend one year in Washington, D.C. working with the staff of a congressional committee, U.S. Senator or U.S. Representative. Congressional Fellowships are designed to demonstrate the value of engineering-government interaction, bring technical backgrounds and external perspectives to the decision making process in Congress and provide a unique public policy learning experience to the Fellow. ASME is also pleased to announce a Federal Government Fellowship opportunity with USAID, the principal federal agency providing economic and humanitarian assistance to countries around the world. All ASME Federal Fellows will be awarded a stipend of $80,000 for the one year Fellowship. ASME Federal Fellows typically serve from September through August, but a January through December term is an option. Applications will be accepted from September 15, 2013 – January 31, 2014. This is a competitive process.
