Rising Seniors Selected for Summer Institutes

Four students have been selected to participate in the competitive Public Policy and International Affairs (PPIA) junior summer institutes. PPIA fellows are rising seniors who are committed to pursuing a master’s degree in public policy or international affairs and a professional career in public service. The program provides full tuition at a Junior Summer Institute, GRE preparation, a $5,000 scholarship at a PPIA graduate school (PPIA fellows often receive scholarships beyond this amount) and application fee waivers to graduate programs in the PPIA consortium.

THE FOUR ARE:

MAYA BENJAMIN, a policy studies major in the Maxwell School and the College of Arts and Sciences, and a member of the Renée Crown University Honors Program

ANDREA SANCHEZ, a political science and policy studies major in the Maxwell School and the College of Arts and Sciences

AIDARUUS SHIRWA, a policy studies and economics major in the Maxwell School and the College of Arts and Sciences

HAILEY WILLIAMS, a policy studies major in the Maxwell School and College of Arts and Sciences, a political philosophy major in the College of Arts and Sciences, a Coronat Scholar and a member of the Renée Crown University Honors Program

Benjamin will attend the institute at the University of California, Berkeley; Sanchez at Carnegie Mellon University; and Shirwa and Williams at the University of Washington.
