APA Congressional Fellowship

APA's Congressional and Science Fellowships provide psychologists with invaluable public policy learning experience, contributing to the more effective use of psychological knowledge in government and broadening awareness of the value of psychology-government interaction.

Recently learned about this. Anyone got any insight into the rigor and specifics of this fellowship?
Quick searches are giving me nothing outside of the APA website.

You can pretty much take Psy.D.s out of the pool of applicants

Really? Is there that much bias in the fellowship applications? Or is it more toward the type of training received in a PsyD?

Who knows. I know a lot of folks like to speculate. I was looking through their past recipients and like one person had a Psy.D. - the rest were Ph.D.

I know two professional school graduates who had that fellowship, although I can't recall if they had PsyDs or PhDs.
