Health Policy Careers

Considering a career in health policy? The Schroeder Center has resources that can help you learn about career paths and start planning your own.

Internship Fellowship Support: William & Mary's Public Policy Program and the Schroeder Center for Health Policy provide financial support for selected undergraduate students who are considering unpaid or low-paid policy-related summer internships. The Public Policy Program will support internships in all areas of public policy, and the Schroeder Center will support internships specifically in the field of health policy.  

Selected students will receive as much as $5,000 to support eligible internship positions. The exact amount of the award and total number of awards offered will depend on the selection process and the total number of applicants. Fellowship awardees are selected on a competitive basis. 

The application deadline for Summer Fellowships is Wednesday, April 15, 2026 for priority consideration and Thursday, April 30, 2026 for regular consideration.
