Following a mandatory two-week orientation to Capitol Hill in January, Fellows meet once a week at issue seminars with women's advocates, activists, Congressional staff, researchers, and lobbyists. WREI expects to award at least five Fellowships for 2012, depending on funding. WREI Fellows receive a stipend of approximately $1,450 per month.
