<p>Princeton has just announced the creation of a new six year program modeled after the Rhodes and Marshall scholarships. This highly selective program in public policy (with a focus on international affairs) will take Princeton Juniors through a special international affairs course of study at the Woodrow Wilson School, followed by placement in a prominent summer internship within the federal government then a return to Princeton to complete the undergraduate degree requirements. Following graduation, each Scholar will be placed in a two year federal government policymaking job and will then return to Princeton to complete a master's degree at the Wilson School.</p>
<p>The initiative is designed "to encourage more of the nation's best and brightest students to pursue careers in the U.S. federal government, especially in the international relations arena."</p>
