Women and Public Policy Program (WAPPP)

Tag: |

The Women and Public Policy Program (WAPPP) provides stipends to Harvard graduate students for field placements that focus on closing gender gaps. Over the past decade, WAPPP has supported over 130 students to work in at least 53 different countries including Afghanistan, Colombia, India, Jordan, Liberia, Nepal, South Africa, and the United States.

WAPPP summer interns have worked across sectors—in non-profits, government agencies, and socially responsible enterprises—as trainers, policy analysts, speech writers, and researchers. WAPPP offers up to $4,000 in support of a gender-focused project, internship, or research agenda that takes place  for a minimum of eight-weeks during the summer.

Given the most recent guidance from  the University, HKS cannot fund any international travel through August 2020 or any domestic travel beginning before May 31. All those planning to submit a funding application, please include internship proposals that do not include travel.
