John Gardner Fellowship Campus Deadline: Wednesday, February 27, 2008

The John Gardner Public Service Fellowship selects three graduating seniors from UC Berkeley and provides each with a $27,500 stipend and health coverage to pursue the public service career of their choice. Following selection, Fellows travel to a handful of self-selected organizations to identify the one that offers the closest fit with their public service interests and ambitions. Equally important is the selection of a mentor, a senior figure from within the organization who agrees to nurture the Fellow's professional growth and development over the course of the ten-month Fellowship. A mentoring relationship generally means that a Fellow enters an organization at a relatively high level, enjoys access to senior-level meetings and conferences, and travels alongside their mentor when appropriate.
