The Public Policy and International Affairs Program (PPIA) is a not-for-profit that has been supporting efforts to
increase diversity in public service for over 30 years. PPIA believes that our society is best served by public managers,
policy makers, and community leaders who represent diverse backgrounds and perspectives. To achieve this goal, PPIA has an outreach focus on students from groups who are
underrepresented in leadership positions in government, nonprofits, international organizations and other institutional
settings. Furthermore, international affairs are increasingly mixed with local concerns. Addressing such global issues
make diversity a critical goal in professional public service.
So what is PPIA?
- A fellowship program that provides student training and financial
support for graduate school and facilitates ongoing professional
development.
- A consortium of the top public and international affairs graduate
programs in the nation.
- An outreach program that seeks to educate and inspire young
people of all ages and from all backgrounds about public service.
- An alumni association of approximately 4,000 PPIA Fellows from
all across the nation.
