The Hoover Institution’s Bochnowski Family Veteran Fellowship Program (VFP) is an accelerator for policy problem-solvers—veterans ready to advance ideas for impact.
Launched in 2021 by Hoover Director Secretary Condoleezza Rice, the VFP is an annual, non-resident, capstone-focused program for post-9/11 veterans working to address pressing challenges facing the country. The program provides Veteran Fellows the time to consolidate their thinking, space to collaborate and expand stakeholder networks, and the momentum to take steps toward action. The VFP integrates the ‘ideas advancing freedom’ mission of the Hoover Institution with veterans who exemplify the credibility and talent of the military.
The program is building an effective and enduring network of successful veteran practitioners united by a commitment to public service who are undeterred in pursuing real solutions to intractable policy problems.
