The National Italian American Foundation (NIAF) Congressional Fellowship Program places outstanding Italian American college students and recent graduates in offices of members and associates of the Italian American Congressional Delegation (IACD) to educate and support the next generation of Italian American leadership. Apply today here.

Upon acceptance to the program by NIAF and a successful interview with a Congressional office, NIAF will award fellows with a stipend of $1,000 during the course of their fellowship. Fellows will have the opportunity to participate in exclusive NIAF Government Affairs Program events. While interning on Capitol Hill, the sponsoring Congressional offices help our fellows to network and make valuable professional connections both in Congress and in the greater DC public affairs community.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT)
Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY)
