The PowerHouse Texas Energy Policy Fellowship Program is a paid fellowship program that pairs fellows with bipartisan members of the Texas House of Representatives and the Texas Senate based on their aligned policy interest and areas of expertise. The Fellowship program is specifically intended for individuals with a background in science, engineering or environmental sciences who are interested in gaining hands-on experience in policymaking and the legislative process. Additionally, fellows meet regularly at education seminars with energy technology experts, legislative staff, researchers, academics and stakeholder groups. This program is the only undergraduate and graduate-level fellowship program in the Texas State Capitol focused on energy policy.
You can learn more about our inaugural fellows and participating legislative offices below.
