In short
The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) sets rules on AI for its Hurford Youth Fellows and Reagan-Fascell Democracy Fellowship programs. Applicants may not copy and paste AI-generated answers wholesale into an application. Limited AI use for generating ideas, editorial guidance, and translation is allowed if it does not overly change an applicant's writing style or the content of the application.
Varies by program. The rule is set in each program's guidelines, so check the one you are applying to.
