Holcomb accepting applications for fellowship
Applications will be accepted through Feb. 28 for the 2020-2021 Governor’s Fellowship.
The Governor’s Fellowship is highly selective and provides a unique experience in Indiana state government by placing fellows in various state agencies on a rotating basis throughout the year.
“Our Governor’s Fellows are such a valuable piece to our team,” Gov. Eric Holcomb said. “The wide range of assistance they provide over the course of their fellowship is key to serving Hoosiers in a timely and thorough manner.”
The program is open to college graduates who receive their bachelor’s degrees in either the fall 2019 or spring 2020. Fellows are paid, full-time employees who participate in the day-to-day activities of state government.
Many Governor’s Fellowship participants have gone on to successful careers in both the public and private sectors — with some serving at the highest levels of local, state and federal government.
The application and submission guidelines can be found online at in.gov/gov/fellowship.htm. To be eligible for consideration, the application and all supporting materials must be postmarked or submitted via email by Feb. 28.
For more information, contact Jim Suess at the Governor’s Office at jsuess@gov.in.gov.
