Institute for AI Policy and Strategy — program: AI Policy Fellowship — 2025 cohort: 29 fellows from 5,600+ applicants (Sept-Nov 2025, DC). 2026 summer cohort: June-August, $15,000 stipend ($22,000 Senior Fellows). Alumni placed at RAND, Institute for Progress, Center for Health Security.

NoteThe source confirms the existence of the 2025 AI Policy Fellows program and lists exactly 29 fellows (5 Senior Fellows + 24 regular Fellows), matching the claim's fellow count. However, the source is a static profile page listing the 2025 cohort members and their work. It does not address: the number of applicants (5,600+), application timeline (Sept-Nov 2025), location (DC), the 2026 summer cohort details, stipend amounts, or alumni placements. These unaddressed claims cannot be verified from this source. The claim's 'as of 2026-03' date suggests information that would be current as of March 2026, but the source appears to be a 2025 cohort page without forward-looking information about 2026 or historical placement data.
