Mark your calendars for October 1st, when we launch the application for the 2026 fellowship cohort!
For over 20 years, the Roosevelt Network has been a home for progressive ideas—equipping undergraduates with the tools, mentorship, and community to shape policy and build a more just and democratic future.
My name is Luke McDermott. I am a senior at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and I applied for the Emerging Policy Fellowship in the most recent cycle. I am currently writing my policy brief on state-level solutions to labor-management disputes. Writing a soon-to-be-published policy article, meeting inspiring individuals at Roosevelt’s yearly conference in New York, and having access to many of the country’s premier policymakers have been more than rewarding.
As threats to democratic norms are on the rise and authoritarianism is knocking on our door, the urgency for our movement is clear. We will win this generational battle of ideas by working together to build momentum for a more democratic economy.
That people-powered future starts with us.
Roosevelt Network undergraduate fellowships give students a chance to help shape that future: your ideas are sharpened, your skills are honed, and you build the strategic vision to deliver the policy change we urgently need. As part of our intergenerational community, you get to imagine and cocreate a policy agenda that champions security, dignity, and agency for us all.
