Bernard L. Schwartz Fellows Program

The Bernard L. Schwartz Fellows Program supports talented journalists, academics and other public policy analysts who offer a fresh and often unpredictable perspective on the major challenges facing our society. Schwartz Fellows are selected on a highly competitive basis, and serve -- some full-time, some on an adjunct basis -- for one or two years. New America provides them with a non-partisan intellectual community where they can pursue their individual research projects. The Schwartz Fellows benefit from their engagement with each other, and with New America's various policy programs, while their presence adds to the intellectual verve of the institution and helps shape its longer-term agenda and focus. By investing in the career development of many of the best and brightest civic-minded writers of the day, Mr. Schwartz and the New America Foundation seeks to enrich the quality of America's public debate for years to come.
