FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Contact:   RGMoy  202/296-9200

The deadlines for APAICS' internships and fellowships are quickly
approaching.  The deadline for 2008 summer internship applications is
January 31st, and the 2008-2009 APAICS Fellowship deadline is February 28th.

Every summer, APAICS' group of exceptional college students from across the
nation experiences working in Congress, federal agencies or non-profits.  In
addition, the interns attend briefings with members of Congress, networking
events with other interns from other national Asian Pacific Islander
American organizations, and also participate in joint activities with the
Congressional Black Caucus Foundation and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus
Institute. Interns also attend brown bag sessions with members of the
National Coalition of Asian Pacific Americans (NCAPA), in order to learn
more about the wide range of issues facing the APA and other minority
communities. Hands-on experience, understanding of the inner workings of
government, and independence are the results.

To talented college graduates and students pursuing post-graduate study,
APAICS offers six fellowships.  These Fellows are placed in Congress,
federal agencies or non-profit organizations. Such fellowships give
opportunities for particularly talented APA youth to more fully experience a
longer duration of working in the public policy process. Also, these
fellowships provide their recipients with a great support network and
valuable experience.
