Bowdoin Public Service Summer Fellowships

The Bowdoin Public Service (BPS) Fellowship program will offer eighteen students the chance to pursue a 10-week summer internship in the fields of government and public policy.

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

The Maine Government & Lee Lockwood Fellowships support specific internship positions with local and state offices. 

Fellowship amounts for Summer 2025 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.
