The Center for Policy Design will be implementing one additional Fellowship—"Policy Design Fellowship" (MN PDF) after the 2024 election. It will join the very successful "Minnesota Education Policy Fellowship" (MN EPF), which is celebrating its 48th anniversary this year and the "Advanced Education Policy and Leadership Program" (AEPLP) that is beginning its 4th year.
During 2024-25 MN EPF will celebrate the Fellowships 48th year, the longest continuous education policy fellowship in Minnesota. Applications for the 2024-25 cohort/48th anniversary year remain open on a rolling basis.
Registration for 2024-25 opened June 14th, 2024 and remains open on a rolling basis.
Note: to register for the Advanced Education Policy Leadership Program you must have completed MN EPFP, MN EPF, MN PDF, or equivalent professional policy experiences.
We have decided to postpone the launch, until November, of the Minnesota Policy Design Fellowship — MN PDF.
The uncertainty of the 2024 election is resulting in a reduced focus on policy and an increased focus on politics.
By postponing the start of MN PDF, until after the 2024 election, we believe it will increase the chances of 2025 moving back to a focus on policy.
