Bowdoin Public Service Summer Fellowships
The Bowdoin Public Service (BPS) Summer Fellowship program will offer students the chance to pursue a 10-week summer internship in the fields of government and public policy in Maine.
Overview
The Bowdoin Public Service Fellowships support specific internship positions with local and state offices. Fellowship amounts for Summer 2026 were $6,000, with an additional $1,000 expenses supplement for students receiving financial aid.
Some sites are accessible on foot or by bicycle, but other locations require access to a car or carpooling. Maine State Office positions are in Augusta.
