The Congressional Innovation Scholars Program

The Congressional Innovation Scholars Program bridges the divide between Congress and the technology sector. Current graduate students or recent recipients of Master’s or Ph.D. degrees work with Members of Congress and Congressional Committees in order to build capacity in Congress, train cross-sector leaders, keep Congress up to date about the latest challenges and opportunities relating to technology, support TechCongress by writing about and presenting on their experiences periodically, and represent TechCongress and the Congressional Innovation Scholars at meetings. Scholars earn a stipend equivalent to $60K during the 10-month program.
