Dear colleagues,

I am writing to you to inform you and your organization about a funding 
opportunity for students interested in pursuing a master’s degree in the 
field of public policy and management.

The Heinz School offers a variety of competitive scholarships and 
fellowships to incoming students in our Master of Science in Public 
Policy and Management (MSPPM <http://www.heinz.cmu.edu/msppm/>) program. 
Two of our most prestigious awards are the Heinz Fellowship and the 
Tribal Affairs Fellowship. Four Heinz Fellowships are awarded annually 
to students committed to working in careers focused on serving the 
public interest. Multiple Tribal Affairs Fellowships are awarded each 
year to students that are committed to promoting the advancement of the 
American Indian population and tribal affairs. Both Fellowships include 
full tuition scholarships and a $6,000 Research Assistantship for each 
academic year. The deadline to apply to the H. John Heinz III School of 
Public Policy and Management is February 1, 2006. To learn more, please 
visit the financial aid section <http://www.heinz.cmu.edu/finaid/msppm/> 
of our website.

The Heinz School has a wonderful reputation and our graduates are sought 
after by employers around the country and around the world. While it is 
nice to have an excellent reputation, you need to ask yourself what else 
am I getting from this program and how will it help me with my short- 
and long-term career goals?

The MSPPM program is designed for students that have a passion for 
applying knowledge and skills in service of the public interest. We 
consistently hear from employers that our students have a unique 
combination of strengths that include policy analysis, communication, 
decision-making, and management. Our graduates use these skills to 
address the important challenges facing society. It is our unique 
approach - emphasizing policy, management and information technology- 
that distinguishes our graduates.

Not surprisingly, with this marketable skill set, our students tend to 
be in demand with employers across the public, private and 
not-for-profit sectors. Our graduates often work at the intersection of 
these sectors, where they are in a position to advance the public good 
and quickly attain positions of responsibility.

We encourage you to learn more about us to determine whether we are a 
good match for you and your interests. To this end, we would be pleased 
to have you visit our website http://www.heinz.cmu.edu

students, alumni, faculty, and administration, please email your request
