Table of Contents
The program is designed to inspire public service leadership and provide a platform for professional development. It is open to all Virginia public and private college and university students, as well as Virginia students who attend colleges or universities out of state. The deadline to apply is March 4, and interviews will begin on March 11. The program runs from June through August.
The program provides an opportunity for students to gain firsthand experience in the executive branch and learn about state government. During their participation, Governor’s fellows have the opportunity to learn from guest speakers who are leaders in state government and beyond. Fellows also experience state government on the road, visiting state government agencies and historic sites.
“The Governor’s Fellow program is an experience I cannot recommend highly enough! It provided me with an enormous boost straight out of college that helped prepare and propel me forward into the role I have today,” said Max Berckmueller, a 2023 Governor’s Fellow. “I loved how the program brought together people from various backgrounds and walks of life with different interests and goals into a fellowship where you can make some amazing connections and friendships.”
