“The Fellowship program is an excellent opportunity to become involved in public service and experience the legislative process first-hand,” said Senator Strickland. “Fellows gain hands-on research, communication, and analytical experience that easily transfer to the public and private sector.”
Applicants must be at least 20 years of age and a graduate of a four-year college or university by September 1, 2010. There is no preferred major. Individuals with advanced degrees and those in mid-career are encouraged to apply. Fellows receive a monthly stipend of $1,972 plus health and dental benefits are included, as well as graduate credit from the Sacramento State Government Department.
“I would encourage anyone who has a strong interest in public policy or politics to apply. This is a wonderful opportunity to participate in a program that was recently named one of the Top Ten Internships in the nation.”
