The David Bohnett Public Service Fellowship
NYU Wagner is pleased to announce a new fellowship available to incoming Wagner students: the David Bohnett Public Service Fellowship. First launched at UCLA, the fellowship offers "...a great opportunity for students to directly engage in the challenges of governing our vibrant and diverse city," according to David Bohnett, Chairman and Founder of the David Bohnett Foundation.
Commencing in fall 2009, the David Bohnett Public Service Fellowship provides full tuition support and summer stipends for three (3) Bohnett Fellows per year. These students must be enrolled in either the Master of Public Administration (MPA) or Master of Urban Planning (MUP) program and express an explicit interest in working for municipal governments to solve our most urgent social issues.
The David Bohnett Public Service Fellowship will allow two fellows a terrific opportunity to intern at the highest level of NYC government. The third fellow will get to take on exciting work with the current President of the US Conference of Mayors, which has an ongoing partnership with the Wagner School.
Qualities of an applicant for this fellowship include:
- An explicit interest in working for municipal governments to solve our most urgent social issues
