Mid Career Fellowship- Public Policy..

[SocialEnt]

Hi,

I am an entrepreneur and have worked in the area of public policy. I have been awarded a couple of mid-career fellowship for a year of independent research + study in two top Ivy League schools.

I have a bachelor’s degree and I am going to be given a certificate at both the programs. They fund the living costs at one of the school while the other school which is a bigger brand is funding everything ( fees etc) other than the living costs( housing etc). I am going with the later.

My class has a fantastic group of mid-career professionals… like ministers , head of financial institutions, Governors etc… But I am the youngest in this class,…So I wanted to get your perspective on how such non degree Mid-career fellowships are viewed professionally.

Congrats on your fellowship!

If you haven't received a response yet, it might be b/c you're question is too vague. Without knowing what school you're attending, what field you're in (public policy is broad...), the prestige of the fellowship, I can't say. Give a little more and you might get a more worthwhile response.
