Please see the fellowship opportunity below:
Hello,
The California Capital Fellows Program is accepting applications until December 8th. Capital Fellows spend 10-11 months as paid, full time employees working in a Legislative, Executive or Judicial Branch office. Capital Fellows are placed at some of the highest levels of California state government and assist state legislators, senior-level executive staff, and court administrators with a broad range of public policy issues and projects and are typically given assignments with a significant amount of responsibility and challenges.
Placement opportunities for Fellows may include departments and offices such as the Superior Court of California; California Department of Food and Agriculture; Department of Health Services; Office of the Secretary of State; directly in the offices of California Assembly or Senate members.
Cal Poly has a robust reputation with the program and strong track record of applicants being selected for a Fellowship, with Cal Poly typically having anywhere from 1 to 3 students selected to participate each year. I highly encourage you to share this opportunity with students who are graduating this year and are interested in applying their skills and knowledge in the state policy arena. Students from all majors are encouraged to apply.
The Capital Fellows Programs are nationally recognized public policy fellowships which offer unique experiences in policy-making and development in each branch of California's state government.
All Fellows receive:
- Paid, fulltime employment, as well as medical, dental and vision benefits;
- One-time moving allowance of $875 (non-taxable);
- Paid university enrollment and earn six graduate units;
- Student loan deferment; and
- Upon successful completion of the fellowship, a Graduate Certificate in Applied Policy and Government
Application & Selection Process
All applications must include the following materials:
- Completed online application,
- Personal statement and program or policy statement,
- Resume,

The application can be found here.
I recently met with two Cal Poly grads who recently completed their Fellowship and learned a tremendous amount about the program; I am happy to share what I learned or connect you with a Fellowship alum.
Best,
