The IPAA Fellowship is the highest national award bestowed by IPAA, and the prestigious award recognises an individual’s outstanding contribution to the study or practice of public administration.

Each IPAA division nominates prospective national fellows to the National Council each year, who then assess applicants based on their contribution to the work of IPAA.
