SOF Support Foundation Accepting Applications for its 2026 Congressional Fellowship Program

SAN DIEGO, March 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SOF (Special Operations Forces) Support Foundation Chair Dominique Plewes announced today that the 2026 application window is now open for SOF Support's Congressional Fellowship Program.

Applications are being accepted at https://sofsupport.org/sof-resources/fellowship-programs/.

Dominique Plewes, founder of the SOF Support Foundation, created the Fellowship Program to provide a unique platform for America's elite operators to showcase their talents and afford them the opportunity to work directly with our elected representatives.

"Congressional Fellows bring a unique set of skills and experiences derived from their military service," explained Dominique Plewes. "Through this program, former members of the special operations community have the ability to lend a much-needed perspective to lawmakers based on their specialized expertise and life experiences."

The SOF Support Congressional Fellowship Program facilitates conversations between various stakeholders, ranging from policymakers to military veterans. It enables Fellows to actively participate in substantive policy discussions and provide nuanced solutions to many of the Gray Zone challenges posed by our adversaries' shifting strategies. 

The Congressional Fellowship Program also helps members of Congress to understand military perspectives first-hand and make decisions based on factual data. Participating Fellows are in a position to directly influence legislation and advance our country's national security interests.

By seamlessly providing fresh SOF ideas and experiences into Congress, the program ensures that policymakers gain a deeper understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities facing the SOF community. This collaboration leads to more informed decisions, stronger policies, and better outcomes for the United States, enhancing national security and strategic readiness.
