Please complete this form so that we can contact you to learn more about your interest in the Racial Equity in Policy and Planning (REPP) fellowship.
REPP promotes racial justice in the public policy and planning fields. Dismantling and remedying the deep-seated historical inequities that policy and planning has contributed to means changing how policy and planning is practiced, as well as who is doing the work. This initiative is hosted by Tufts Department of Urban & Environmental Policy & Planning (UEP), in partnership with Tisch College of Civic Life and the Tufts Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
The REPP Fellowship supports five students per year to complete UEP’s
MA in Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning /
MS in Environmental Policy and Planning
programs and supports their leadership in the field. Fellows are
individuals who
have already demonstrated a commitment to and have experience in
advancing racial justice and who exhibit potential to be racial justice
change agents in the policy and planning fields. REPP fellows receive stipends, generous tuition scholarships, support to
secure paid internships, and programming to build leadership skills,
develop networks, and provide socio-emotional support. REPP will also
offer workshops and create a learning community for all who want to
pursue anti-racist practices, policies, and outcomes in policy and
planning.
To be considered for the REPP Fellowship, applicants must first apply to and be admitted to the MA/MS program. REPP fellowship selection occurs in March, so potential candidates
should apply to UEP by the January 15 deadline. REPP will prioritize
fellows who intend to develop their careers in the region (Massachusetts
and New England) and who will, collectively over time, bend the arc of
policy and planning practice towards racial justice.
