The Fiscal Year 2027 Congressional Fellowship Program (CFP) selects Marines to obtain first-hand, senior-level experience with the workings of the U.S. Congress to acquire additional skills, relationships, and knowledge that enables the Marine Corps to sustain and improve its efforts to inform and educate the legislative branch. The FY27 CFP Panel is conducted in three parts: screening, interviews, and final selection. The screening panel concluded on 15 July 2026. The following Marines will be contacted to schedule in-person or virtual interviews by the Office of Legislative Affairs (OLA). Final selection results will be released via a separate MARADMIN following the conclusion of interviews and the final selection process. 2. Panel Results 2.a.
