What is the Presidents Commission on White House Fellowships?
The President’s Commission on White House Fellowships, which is composed of twenty to thirty outstanding citizens who represent a broad range of backgrounds, interests, and professions, selects each class of White House Fellows. Some Commissioners have served through several Administrations and some are former Fellows. The Commission interviews National Finalists and then recommends those individuals it finds most qualified for the fellowship to the President for appointment as White House Fellows. The Commission meets twice a year: once in January to conduct regular business and once in June to select a new class of Fellows.
