The John Gardner Public Service Fellowship Program
The John Gardner Fellowship selects six outstanding seniors each spring from UC Berkeley and Stanford University. Each Fellow receives a $52,000 stipend to work for ten months in a nonprofit or government organization aligned with their public service interests.
Fellows have previously been placed at high-impact institutions such as:
• California Governor’s Office
• Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Oversight Committee
• Environmental Law Institute
• San Francisco Public Defender’s Office
Each Fellow is paired with a senior-level mentor who provides professional guidance, exposure, and growth opportunities well beyond what is typically available to recent graduates.
The goal of the Fellowship is to create meaningful, postgraduate leadership experiences and support UC Berkeley and Stanford’s most promising students in pursuing careers in public service. UC Berkeley students can apply through the link above.
Stanford students should visit the Haas Center for Public Service for application information.
