The Archer Fellowship Program

The Archer Fellowship Program is a highly selective program based in Washington, D.C., for students in The University of Texas System. As a UT System institution, The program, which has an undergraduate and graduate option, is open to all Stephen F. Austin State University students, regardless of major. The fellowships are designed for students who desire to make a meaningful difference in the U.S. and in the world, and who have potential to be leaders of U.S. politics, nonprofits, economics and civic society.

Archer Fellowships consist of three major components:

• Learning about civic values, public policy and participatory democracy through academic course credit in their major or minor
• Experiencing a life-changing and meaningful internship in Washington, D.C., related to their career goals
• Living in a diverse community in a common housing option with students from across The UT System.

The Graduate Archer Fellowship Program occurs every summer for approximately 12 weeks. 

The Undergraduate Archer Fellowship Program takes place in the fall and spring semesters each academic year.
