Lambert Policy Fellowship
A highly selective program for students who believe faith and public life were never meant to be separate.
A partnership between Center for Arizona Policy and Arizona Christian University
Applications are now open for the upcoming academic year.
"Your convictions belong in the arena."
Through rigorous academic preparation and hands-on experience at the Arizona State Capitol, Lambert Policy Fellows discover firsthand how biblical principles become real policy — and how one prepared leader can change the trajectory of an entire state.
Program Structure
The fellowship spans two semesters — building your foundation in the fall and putting it to work at the Capitol in the spring.
Fall Semester Course
Three-credit academic foundation- Constitutional principles of American government
- The intersection of faith and public service
- Policy research, writing, and analysis
- How a bill actually becomes law in Arizona
- Guest speakers include legislators, attorneys, and civic leaders shaping Arizona policy right now.
Spring Semester at the Capitol
Hands-on during the legislative session- Track live legislation and brief the CAP policy team
- Conduct original research on bills affecting Arizona families
- Observe committee hearings and floor debates
- Contribute to real policy work alongside seasoned advocates
- This is where preparation meets purpose — you’ll be doing the work, not just studying it.
