Are You Ready To Make a Difference?

Communication Skills. Initiative. Potential. Diligence. Personal Integrity.

These are only a few of the traits the PPIP is looking for in its applicants. Certainly grades matter, but PPIP interns are selected not only on their academic achievements. They are also chosen based on their ability to demonstrate the potential to take full advantage of the program and the desire to serve our state and our nation in the public policy sector.
