Congratulations to the VA Congressional Fellowship Program Class of 2025!
VA’s Congressional Fellowship Program offers participants the chance to work in the legislative branch of the federal government for one session of Congress. From January 3 to December 21, 2025, Members of Congress will host program participants within their oversight committees and personal offices. Fellows will work with these federal lawmakers to shape policy and support their constituencies while also providing Congressional staff with valuable insight to further support our nation’s Veterans. This year, selected Fellows bring experience rooted in hospital administration, information and technology, workforce support and management, and electronic health record modernization. Please join us in welcoming this exceptional cohort!
For questions regarding the program, please contact Andy Blevins, Fellowship Program Manager, at andrew.blevins@va.gov.
