Fellowship Programs
The Governor’s Summer Internship Program (GSIP)
During the GSIP program, interns work on substantive projects with senior-level public administrators and policy makers in departments or policy areas that closely correspond with each intern’s field of study or career interests. Interns will attend seminars designed to introduce them to the specific rewards and challenges of public administration. These seminars are designed to broaden their knowledge of state government and heighten their appreciation and understanding of the interactive relationships between the various functions of government. The Shriver Center at the UMBC coordinates the program in conjunction with the Office of the Governor.
Stipend: Each participating student receives a $5,000 stipend.
