 *The 2026 Grace-Marie Turner Fellows meet with American Enterprise Institute Senior Fellow Thomas Miller for a discussion on healthcare policy research.*

 *TFAS Press Release*

The Fund for American Studies (TFAS), in partnership with DonorsTrust, is pleased to announce the first two recipients of the [Grace-Marie Turner Fellowship](https://tfas.org/news/tfas-announces-launch-of-the-grace-marie-turner-fellowship-program/). This year’s Fellows, who will be participating in the 2026 TFAS D.C. Summer Program, are **Isa Garcia** and **Madeleine Gregg**.

Isa is interning at the Association for Behavioral Health and Wellness, a national healthcare trade association. She is a junior at Thomas Aquinas College in California, where she studies philosophy. Originally from San Jose, California, Isa has a strong interest in journalism and reporting. She has previously interned at The Daily Wire and is also a contributor to The College Fix.

Madeleine is interning at the Healthcare Leadership Council, an association of American healthcare leaders. A native of Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, Madeleine is a senior at The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., where she studies human resource management. Madeleine previously interned with the Mercatus Center at George Mason University and has written for Catholic University’s student-run newspaper.

The Fellowship is named in memory of Grace-Marie Turner, a nationally respected voice for free-market health policy and the founder and president of the Galen Institute. Made possible by funding from the Galen Institute and DonorsTrust, the Turner Fellowship Program provides an opportunity for two outstanding college students with an interest or experience in healthcare and public policy to spend a summer living, learning and interning in Washington, D.C. The Fellows are gaining valuable skills and hands-on experience, while learning about policies that support individual freedom, consumer choice and competition in the healthcare sector.

In addition to their internships, Turner Fellows are taking a 6-credit curriculum centered around freedom-based principles, delivered through courses at George Mason University. They are also attending healthcare policy briefings at sites including PhRMA and the American Enterprise Institute, where they are learning from industry experts and building professional networks with peers.

“Being selected as a Grace-Marie Turner Fellow is an honor, and it gives me an opportunity to learn from people with shared interests in healthcare policy,” said Madeleine Gregg. “It motivates me to strengthen the skills that I hope will help make a strong impact on healthcare policy.”
