SINSI Graduate Program Admission

Eligibility

• U.S. citizenship
• Current seniors who are expected to graduate in 2025 and MPA1 students.
• Be able to successfully complete a background investigation and meet security and other requirements for work in the federal government.
• Maintain an overall grade point average of 3.2 or higher on a 4.0 scale throughout their participation in the program. (There is no minimum GPA to apply to the program.)

Admitted seniors will need to complete the official MPA program application (guidance will be provided) and take the GRE exam. Admission to the MPA program is guaranteed as long as students continue to be in good standing.

Applications, including essays and transcripts, may be shared with appropriate government officials as part of the placement process. It is important that students who have been accepted are very responsive during the fellowship placement process due to timing sensitivities.
