Betsy Brown Ruzzi Fellowship

The BBR Fellowship was created in honor of Betsy Brown Ruzzi, who spent most of her career at NCEE leading our benchmarking and policy work and tragically passed away in 2022. She was committed to ensuring that all students have access to world-class schools. She attended George Washington University for graduate school, so this fellowship opportunity is open to graduate students currently attending GW. Fellows work with our Policy and Research & Evaluation teams to support our international benchmarking and state policy work.
