GS offers two fellowships for undergraduate students to support summer opportunities: a Summer Internship Fellowship and a Summer Research Fellowship.
The AGS Summer Internship Fellowship provides funds to defray the costs of a summer internship related to American grand strategy. This includes internships at think tanks, in government, at international institutions, and in the private sector.
The AGS Summer Research Fellowship enables students to develop and pursue independent research projects in the field of grand strategy, historical or contemporary.

2026 Forced Migration and Resettlement Community Partnership Symposium on March 30, 2026, at UNL’s City Campus Nebraska Union, a one-day convening focused on strengthening collaboration, sharing resources, and building practical connections among those working on migration and resettlement issues across Nebraska.
The symposium is designed as a continuation of our 2025 Symposium. Based on feedback from last year, we listened carefully and intentionally redesigned the symposium as a one-day gathering, making it easier for participants from across the state to attend while still creating meaningful space for connection, learning, and collaboration.
Building from last year’s findings, this year’s gathering emphasizes bringing together people and organizations from across Nebraska who are grappling with similar challenges, creating opportunities to share ideas, surface practical approaches, and strengthen connections that can be sustained beyond the event.
We’d like to personally invite you to participate and would greatly appreciate your help in sharing this registration with colleagues, students, and partners who may be interested. The symposium will bring together community organizations, service providers, educators, researchers, and students for a day that prioritizes meaningful exchange and actionable connections.
Highlights of the 2026 symposium include:
• Collaborative working sessions that bring participants from across Nebraska together to share ideas, practical approaches to current challenges, and opportunities for partnership.
• Dedicated time and shared tools for resource-sharing and connection-building, resulting in a living, shared resource document that participants can use throughout the coming year to stay connected, exchange recommendations, and support one another’s work.
Event Details:
• When: March 30, 2026 (8:00 AM–3:00 PM)
• Where: Centennial Ballroom, UNL City Campus, Lincoln, NE
• Cost: Provided at no cost from generous donations from UNL Department and Colleges (includes meals and refreshments)
Lodging for Out-of-Town Participants:
To support participation from across the state, a limited number of on-campus lodging spaces will be available in Selleck Hall, located in the heart of UNL’s City Campus and within easy walking distance of the symposium venue. Additional details about reserving on-campus housing will be shared with registered participants.
