Bowdoin Public Service Summer Fellowships

Internships may include working in a federal office, agency, or non-governmental organization affiliated with government function.

There are two types of BPS Fellowships:

• The Washington, DC Fellowship supports internships in a federal office, agency, or non-governmental organization affiliated with government function in Washington, DC. 
• The Maine Government Fellowship supports specific internship positions with local and state offices. 

Fellowship amounts for Summer 2024 will be $6,000, with an additional $1,000 expenses supplement for students of aid.

As part of the fellowship program, fellows are required to:

• Participate in orientation to the program prior to the start of the fellowship; 
• Gather periodically with other fellows and staff for discussions; 
• Present a summary of the experience at the end of the summer.
