    This is a really neat program. Sweetening the deal even more is the fact that fellowship pays $7,000 for 10 weeks of work. That's a heck of a lot more than you'll get from the typical “cost of living” stipend offered by most summer policy internships in DC.

    The Google Policy Fellowship was how I came to be working at CEI and contributing to TLF. It was a great program.
