We are happy to announce a new fellowship program aligned with The Volcker Alliance’s Service to Service Initiative!
The Service to Service (S2S) Fellowship is a premier national initiative designed to help veterans, active-duty service members, and military spouses channel their leadership experience into meaningful public service careers. Fellows pursuing graduate degrees in public administration or public policy gain access to a supportive cohort of peers, specialized professional development, and dedicated job placement networks in state and local government.
This partnership bridges the gap between military service, advanced public service education, and impactful civilian careers in public service. Through this initiative, we are empowering the next generation of public leaders to continue their mission of service right here in the Tucson community!
If you are U.S. military-affiliated, a current/incoming or prospective student, please visit https://sgpp.arizona.edu/S2S-fellowship for more information. If you meet the eligibility criteria, please apply!
