DEADLINES APPROACHING FOR APAICS 2007 SUMMER INTERNSHIP AND 2007-2008
FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMS

Washington, D.C. The Asian Pacific American Institute for
Congressional Studies (APAICS) is currently accepting applications for
its 2007 Summer Internship and 2007-2008 Fellowship Programs.

Each year, APAICS invites college students to apply for its Summer
Internship Program in Washington, D.C. Interns are placed in
Congressional offices, federal agencies, and non-profit organizations
to obtain a first-hand learning experience in American politics.
Through a series of seminars, they learn about national Asian Pacific
Islander American advocacy organizations and network with peers from
the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (CHCI) and the
Congressional Black Caucus Foundation (CBCF).

This year, the internship will last from June 4 to July 27, 2007.
Those attending continental U.S. schools will receive a total stipend
of $2,500. Interns attending Hawaii schools, or who live in Hawaii,
will receive a total stipend of $3,000 to cover additional
transportation costs. All application materials, including application
form, resume, transcript, cover letter, writing sample and two letters
of recommendation, must be submitted by January 31, 2007.

The three 2007-2008 Fellowship Programs are the George Aratani
Foundation/Daniel K. Inouye Fellowship Program, the
Anheuser-Busch/Frank Horton Fellowship Program, and the Sodexho Health
Policy Fellowship. Applications for these programs must be postmarked
by Wednesday, February 28, 2007. There will be no extension deadline.

Maya Yamazaki and Gloria Chan are the current fellows for the George
Aratani Foundation/Daniel K. Inouye Fellowship Program and the
Anheuser-Busch/Frank Horton Fellowship Program, respectively. Ms.
Yamazaki has been placed in the Office of Congresswoman Madeleine Z.
Bordallo (D-Guam), and Ms. Chan is with the Office of Congressman Mike
Honda (D-CA).

Applications and information for all programs can be downloaded from
