Notice: Now accepting applications for Summer 2010. Deadline to apply is 02/28/2010
Fellowship Dates: June 7 – August 13, 2010
During a ten week full-time placement in a Mayoral office or agency, Fellows will be assigned to projects that focus on a myriad of public policy issues and challenges. Mayoral Fellows will complete their projects under the direction of senior level government officials and will be provided with immediate and direct feedback. At the conclusion of the summer, Fellows will give presentations to the Mayor and various cabinet officials summarizing their placements and overall summer experience. The ultimate objective of the fellowship is to encourage talented individuals, with an interest in public service, to seek permanent positions within City government at the conclusion of their academic program.
Mayoral Fellows receive stipends and are placed in agencies based on their background, interests and the needs of the agencies and departments.
The Baltimore City Mayoral Fellowship accepts applications from students in their junior or senior year of college, current graduate-level students, and recent college graduates. Those with a demonstrated interest in public service as a career are encouraged to apply. Consideration is given to the candidate’s application, academic achievement, demonstrated interest in public service, and career interests.
The application deadline is February 28, 2010. Following review of applications, selected candidates will be contacted to schedule interviews. Interviews will be conducted in person or via phone depending on candidate availability. Final notification of acceptance will be sent via email by March 31, 2010.
