Two Indian-Americans have been named finalists for the prestigious White House Fellows programme that offers first-hand experience of working at the highest levels of the US federal government.
Tina Shah, a physician from the University of Chicago and Anjali Tripathi, an astrophysics Ph.D candidate at Harvard University, have been shortlisted for the Programme, the White House said yesterday.
The National Finalists will be evaluated by the President’s Commission on White House Fellowships in Washington, DC from June 9-12, a media release said.
In a statement, the White House said this year’s class of Finalists represents an accomplished and diverse cross-section of professionals from the private sector, academia, medicine,
and armed services.
There are more than 700 White House Fellow alumni, a distinguished group that includes former Secretary of State Colin Powell and CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr Sanjay Gupta.
