Westin Fellowship
The IAPP Westin Fellowship Program was created in 2013 to encourage and enable research and scholarship in the field of privacy. As the IAPP has grown, so has our mission, which is to define, promote and improve the professions of privacy, AI governance and digital responsibility globally.
Applicants from all disciplines are encouraged to apply. Previous research, coursework or experience in privacy, AI governance, cybersecurity law, and digital law and policy is preferred. Applicants must be U.S. citizens, permanent residents or be eligible for work authorization in the U.S.
The one-year fellowship generally begins and ends in August.
Please send any questions about the Westin Fellowship to research@iapp.org.
