Job Description

The
Stars of Valor Fellowships Program is committed to honoring and acknowledging
the invaluable service, sacrifice, and resilience provided by wounded or disabled veterans, Active-Duty military spouses, and Gold Star families. It presents
a distinct opportunity for individuals to extend their significant
contributions to America. Senate Resolution 442
(117th Congress) established the SFC Sean Cooley and SPC Christopher Horton
Congressional Gold Star Family Fellowship Program, Senate Resolution 443

Collectively, these programs are the Stars of Valor Fellowships Program.

These fellowships are exclusively available to eligible wounded or disabled veterans, Active-Duty military spouses, and Gold

within the esteemed halls of the United States Senate. Leveraging their unique
perspectives, selected fellows will have the privilege of supporting Senators

constituents' concerns on a national scale. These positions are based in
Washington, DC, as well as in Senate Offices across the United States.
