The City of Baltimore is now accepting applications for the Summer 2011 Baltimore City Mayoral Fellowship program. The program is highly selective and provides broad exposure to the highest level of local government officials in a city that is nationally recognized for its innovative urban management programs.

 The Baltimore City Mayoral Fellowship is one of the best urban policy fellowships in the country. Students accepted into the program are provided with a unique opportunity for on-the-job training in one of several municipal agencies through a ten-week, full-time summer experience. The objective of the program is to encourage talented individuals with an interest in public service to seek permanent positions within City government at the conclusion of their degree. Fellows are placed in agencies such as Recreation and Parks, Finance, Department of Housing and Community Development, Health Department, Baltimore Development Corporation, and Communications.

 Undergraduates finishing their junior or senior year are eligible to apply, as are graduate students from every discipline. There is a stipend of $4,000 for undergraduates and $5,000 for graduate students. 

 The application is available at http://baltimorecity.gov/OfficeoftheMayor/MayoralInitiatives/MayoralFellowship.aspx

Fellowship dates are June 15, 2011 – August 19, 2010 and applications are due by February 28, 2011. 

 Sincerely,

 

 Stephanie Rawlings-Blake
