<p>@ upsidedown:</p>
<p>Some background before answering your question: The [Roosevelt</a> Institute](<a href=“http://www.rooseveltinstitute.org/]Roosevelt”>http://www.rooseveltinstitute.org/) is a non-partisan, student-run policy think tank with chapters across the country. The [UGA</a> chapter](<a href=“http://spia.uga.edu/organizations/roosevelt_institution/]UGA”>http://spia.uga.edu/organizations/roosevelt_institution/) is very active and well-respected nationally. Honors, in conjunction with the Roosevelt Institute, offers a course in policy writing and the process behind public policy – the number of spots in that course is small so entrance is very selective… the students who are chosen for this course are called “Roosevelt Scholars”. One of the perks – other than participating in a rigorous course on policy analysis – is that UGA’s [Carl</a> Vinson Institute of Gov’t](<a href=“http://www.cviog.uga.edu/]Carl”>http://www.cviog.uga.edu/) reserves internship slots each spring for Roosevelt scholars. Otherwise, it’s not a traditional “scholarship” in the sense that money or anything like that is involved.</p>
<p>If you’re interested in the political process, and especially the sort of substantive work required to form gov’t policies, you should definitely look into the Roosevelt Institute and ultimately the Roosevelt scholars course @ UGA.</p>
