Paul Simon Public Policy Institute Celia M. Howard Fellowship Application

In partnership with the Celia M. Howard Fellowship Fund, the Institute provides funding for a fellowship to benefit a student interested in a career in government, public policy, and public service. Ideally, the fellowship will be based in Carbondale with the Institute, but options are available for external placement for those with specific interests and ability to serve in Springfield with a constitutional office, state agency, or state legislator.

The student will be hired as a half-time graduate research fellow at the pay rate and associated benefits—including a tuition waiver—as set by the Graduate School. Funding for technology needs, travel, and other expenses is included. The student must dedicate 20 hours per week to the fellowship.

This fellowship is granted for one year.
