Skillbridge Congressional Fellowship Act of 2025 authorizes military members to participate in fellowships in congressional offices.

The Skillbridge Congressional Fellowship Act of 2025 allows eligible members of the armed forces to participate in fellowships within congressional offices, committees, or subcommittees. The Secretary concerned may authorize these fellowships, ensuring only one member is in a fellowship at a time in any single office, committee, or subcommittee. Fellowships can last up to 180 days and require approval from the relevant office, committee, or subcommittee. The Secretary must also consult with the member's commanding officer and provide an orientation program.
