Stanford in Government (SIG) Fellowship

Stanford in Government (SIG) external link is a non-partisan, student-run organization dedicated to promoting political awareness, providing public service opportunities and fellowships, and assisting students in their search for quality experiences in the public policy arena. Members arrange a variety of events including speakers, discussions, and voter education programs.

SIG provides highly qualified, ambitious students with meaningful exposure to the public policy process through a number of paid summer fellowships. These are offered in government and nonprofit agencies locally, in the Bay Area and Sacramento, as well as in Washington D.C. and internationally. Fellowships require a commitment of at least 9 weeks of fulltime work during the summer and supply students with stipends of at least $4,000, depending on location. Each year there are 30 to 34 recipients. Only continuing students (freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and senior co-terms) may apply.
