Public service is a challenging and rewarding experience. The Capital Fellows Programs offer an exciting opportunity for college graduates to gain hands-on experience in the democratic process and to work with the best and brightest leaders in California.
The Capital Fellows Programs provide college graduates an opportunity to work in high levels of government. Qualified fellows are assigned to Senators, Assembly members, judges and senior state officials. These fellowships are jointly operated by each participating branch of government and the Center for California Studies at Sacramento State University.
Fellows are paid a monthly salary of $1,972 plus health, vision, and dental benefits. In addition, each individual earns 12 units of graduate credit from Sacramento State.
Anyone who will be at least 20 years of age and a graduate of a four-year college or university by September 1, 2008 is eligible to apply. There is no preferred major. Individuals with advanced degrees and those in mid-career are also encouraged to apply.
For our fourth year in the Senate, we will have our third Senate Fellow. He is Sam Parsons, a graduate of Sacramento State University who originally comes from Placerville. We are glad to have him in our Capitol Office.
All applications for fellowships must be postmarked by Wednesday, February 27, 2008.
