[US] The Bryce Harlow Scholarship
Since 1985 the Foundation has awarded scholarships to highly motivated students who are pursuing a career in professional advocacy through public affairs, government relations or lobbying. Scholarships will be awarded for the 2007-2008 academic year to individuals who undertake graduate level studies on a part-time basis and work full-time. Acceptable graduate programs include, but are not limited to law, business and public policy.
