Quotes from award recipients:
"Without the award, there’s no way I would have been able to go to Washington, D.C. at any point for any length of time."
- Matthew Brodsky, 2023 Award recipient and Rutgers University—Camden student.
"I wouldn't have been able to take a position in D.C., especially one that was unpaid that catered to my interests so well without the support of this D.C. award. Being able to spend the summer in the city exploring a new place and potentially a place I would like to live and work was a great experience."
- Rees Hagler, 2023 Award recipient.
