Sponsor a Public Service Fellow!
As public agencies aim to increase capacity during these challenging times, short-to-mid-term fellowships can be key resources for recruiting talent. The Center for Public Service Fellowship Program at Portland State University matches candidates with public service opportunities and is designed to fill sponsor needs with exceptionally qualified and trained graduate students.
More than 60 Master’s and Ph.D. level Fellows are now available to support public service projects in sponsor agencies, bureaus, and organizations. Fellows are selected through a competitive process from prestigious universities nationwide and have identified their passion for public service. The 2021 Cohort is populated with candidates from Portland State University, University of Michigan, Harvard, Presidio Graduate School, and more outstanding universities. Once matched, Fellows perform as project managers, helping sponsor organizations to complete unfinished projects or embark on new initiatives, per defined scope(s) of work.
