Barbara Jordan Health Policy Scholars

The Barbara Jordan Health Policy Scholars Program was a health policy internship program sponsored by the Kaiser Family Foundation from 2000 to 2012.[1] The program was based at Howard University and sponsored an annual group of senior undergraduates and recent graduates to work in U.S. Congress offices and learn about health policy.[1] It was named in honor of Barbara Jordan, the first black woman elected from the U.S. South to the House of Representatives, and a former trustee of the Kaiser Family Foundation.[1] Its goal was to expand the number of people of color in the healthy policy field.[2] Over 170 people participated in the program over its course. The last class was in 2012.[1]
