The Pittsburgh Foundation's James G. Fulton Fellows Program
& J. Steele Gow Political Fellows Program

The James G. Fulton Fellows Program was established in 1972 as a living memorial to the late Western Pennsylvania Congressman who, over a 27-year period, trained more than 100 students in his office and taught them first-hand about the challenges and rewards of public life. The J. Steele Gow Political Fellows Program was established in 1965 in memory of the late J. Steele Gow. Mr. Gow was the executive director of the Maurice and Laura Falk Foundation from its beginning in 1929 until its termination in 1965. The Foundation was a pioneer in support of economic research, political science education, aided in the development and publication of more than 75 books in these fields, and developed political internships at 25 colleges and universities.
