Emerging Leaders of Color Fellowship

Announcing the 2024 Emerging Leaders of Color Fellows! To learn more about this year’s fellows and advisors, check out our announcement

The Emerging Leaders of Color (ELC) Fellowship is designed to provide an accessible pathway for people of color to enter state government positions or advance from current state government positions and related non-governmental organizations to optimize their lived experience and lead in the development and administration of state health policy informed by their lived experience.

Beginning in February and continuing through December, the fellowship is designed to provide early-career individuals from communities of color, including current state employees, an opportunity to:

  • Learn about state health policy from a state leader of color
  • Develop a project with that leader
  • Engage in educational and professional development
  • Cultivate support within the state health policy community

The 2024 ELC fellowship requires selected fellows to commit approximately 35 hours a month to fellowship work. Each fellow is provided a total stipend of $6,300 plus travel expenses to attend NASHP’s annual health policy conference, visit Washington, DC for program activities, and visit the state of their advisor.
