The Bogle Fellowship is designed to promote intellectual curiosity in students. Students are encouraged to think about issues or topics that they’ve learned about or experienced and consider how an immersive service experience might enable them to delve more deeply into the topic.
Applicants may see the fellowship as an opportunity to return to their home community or revisit a familiar experience with the new lens of a Princetonian; others may opt to use the opportunity to remain in Princeton or explore a new environment.
Application Requirements
- As a first step, prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to set-up an advising appointment with Matt Lynn, in order to learn more about the application process and the fellowship in general.
- Applicants need to design their own service or civic engagement oriented internship or project. Alternatively, they can secure a non-paying service internship.
- The internship or project needs to have a committed supervisor. This can be a host organization or an individual (such as a professor or community contact).
- The internship or project must be full-time and be a minimum of 8 weeks.
- The internship or project must take place in either the United States or international students' home countries (exceptions considered for students who demonstrate cultural and linguistic competence in international locations).
- The $700/week award can be used however the Bogle Fellow wishes. Fellows are not required to submit a budget nor receipts for the main stipend.
- Applicants must submit a resume.
- Applicants are encouraged to submit a letter of commitment from the supervisor to explain the internship or project and the supervisory role.
- Applicants may not receive funding for their 8+ week internship or project from any other source.
