E-mail: jtilley@tfas.org “The Tisdale Fellowship allows graduate and undergraduate students the unique opportunity to work in the high-tech public policy environment in Washington D.C. The fellowship partners students with companies and organizations to provide not only an insiders perspective on policy issues confronting the IT world, but also mentors that share their experience and insight. Washington can be a tough city to crack, and the fellowship helps you begin that process. It also helped me broaden my own vision of possible career paths.”
