The John C. Bogle ‘51 Fellows in Civic Service program (Bogle Fellowship) offers support and funding for students who -- like Jack Bogle, the program’s namesake -- have a specific passion they would like to pursue. This year, the Bogle Fellowship is open to first-years, sophomores, and juniors. Bogle Fellows identify their own community partners, with guidance from Pace staff as needed, and work with community partners to support their service and civic engagement mission. Fellows may choose to pursue a traditional internship experience at a partner organization, or they may develop and implement a project or program alongside a partner organization which meets an existing need within that community.The Bogle summer experience is structured as follows:
Duration
Internships must be full-time and 8-10 weeks, falling between May 27 and August 12th, 2024. Fellows commit to participating in supplementary discussions with peer mentors and civic leadership trainings, with an average weekly time commitment of 1 hour per week. Fellows are also expected to engage in weekly reflection prompts and to complete a final capstone project.
Location
Internships should take place in the United States, with the only exception being that international students may apply for funding to complete internships in their home countries. Exceptions will be considered for students who have strong cultural or linguistic ties to international locations.
Stipend
Fellows will receive a summer stipend of $700/week, with additional funding for special projects available on an application basis.
Up to 25 students will be granted summer awards. In the spring, Bogle Fellows will participate in training and community building events to prepare them for their summer experiences.
Bogle Fellows can identify internships in any area within the realm of service and civic engagement. Service takes many forms and can be integrated with any career field--think not just public policy, but technology, engineering, financial services, and beyond. As such, the Pace Center encourages applicants to think creatively and to identify innovative and impactful approaches to service when constructing their summer internship or project. Students of all academic backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
