About Carsey's Public Policy Fellowships
The Carsey School is pleased to offer paid policy-related fellowships to Master in Public Policy (MPP) students, enabling them to earn and learn while enrolled in the MPP program.
Fellowship positions last for two semesters (typically commencing in the fall and concluding the following spring) with student fellows working approximately 15 hours per week (while classes are in session) and receiving a stipend of $6,500 per semester for a total of $13,000.
For 2025–26, we are pleased to offer the following policy-related MPP Fellowship opportunities, described below.
