Postmark deadline for all 2010-2011 fellowships is February 24, 2010

The Center for California Studies at Sacramento State administers four fellowship programs.

• Jesse M. Unruh Assembly Fellowship
• Executive Fellowship
• Judicial Administration Fellowship
• California Senate Fellows

These programs, known collectively as the Capital Fellows Programs, are nationally recognized and were recently named the #1 internship opportunity in America by Forbes. The 18 Assembly Fellows, 18 Senate Fellows, 18 Executive Fellows and 10 Judicial Administration Fellows receive an outstanding opportunity to engage in public service and prepare for future careers, while actively contributing to the development and implementation of public policy in California. The ranks of former fellows include a Justice of the California Supreme Court, members of the United States Congress and the State Legislature, a deputy director of the Peace Corps, state and local government officials, corporate executives and community leaders.

Fellows in each program work for 11 months, receive health benefits and a monthly stipend of $1972, and are employees of Sacramento State. They work as full-time members of a legislative, executive, or judicial branch office, and are typically given assignments with a significant amount of responsibility and challenges. Fellows also enroll as graduate students at Sacramento State and receive graduate units from the Sacramento State Government Department or Public Policy and Administration Program. The enrollment fees are paid by the programs.
