Each year, PPIA seeks out high-potential undergraduate students from universities across the country to participate in an intensive seven-week Junior Summer Institute (JSI) before their senior year. During their program, fellows are equipped with the knowledge and skills they will need to succeed in graduate school and ultimately, in influential roles serving the public good.

Once students have successfully completed their JSI, they join an alumni network of nearly 4,000 leaders. In addition to the opportunities provided for mentoring and career development, the alumni network has the opportunity to receive financial support for their graduate school education if they attend one of the programs in the Graduate School Consortium.
