Stanford in Government (SIG) is a nonpartisan, student-run organization dedicated to promoting political awareness, providing public service opportunities and fellowships, and assisting students in their search for quality experiences in the public policy arena. SIG's Fellowships Program provides highly qualified, ambitious students with meaningful exposure to the public policy process through a number of paid summer fellowships pre-arranged by SIG. These are offered in government and nonprofit agencies locally in the Bay Area, Sacramento, Washington, D.C., and internationally.
Undergraduates from all majors and years are encouraged to apply, as the fellowship placements include public service opportunities through a variety of disciplines. SIG only accepts applications from students who will be enrolled as undergraduates for the following academic year, so graduating seniors cannot apply. The one exception to this rule is that seniors who will be working toward a co-term degree for all of the following academic year, who are allowed to apply.
Design a personal learning plan for the summer, and share the plan with site supervisor and academic mentor.
Students participating in an international service project must complete the Haas Center's international preparation requirements.
