Fellowships

SIG offers dozens of fully-funded public service internships every summer in a range of organizations around the world. You can find the list of fellowships below, and in the drop down menu under the “Fellowships” tab. Students from all majors are encouraged to apply, as the fellowships represent public service through a variety of disciplines.

Please reference the “Application Information” section in the drop-down menu under the “Fellowships” tab for the question and materials the application requires.

The application deadline for this year has passed; letters of recommendation will be accepted on the application website until Monday, February 11th at 11:59pm. Please check back in December of 2013 for next year’s fellowship opportunities.

Please direct any questions to SIG’s Vice-Chair of Fellowships, Kyle Vandenberg (kylev@stanford.edu).

Applicants may also be interested in the SIG Stipends (Stipends that fund self-arranged internships). For more information about that program, please click here. You may apply for both Stipends and Fellowships, but the applications are completely separate.
