Welcome to the Maryland Public Service Scholars Programs!
Our four programs—GSIP (Government Service Internship Program), SNLP (Social and Nonprofit Leadership Program), MDOT (Maryland Department of Transportation Fellowship), and LAW (Legal Advocacy and Workforce Program)—offer a comprehensive pathway for students who live or go to school in Maryland to build impactful careers in public service through a PAID summer fellowship opportunity.
EACH PROGRAM CONSISTS OF FIVE CORE COMPONENTS:
[Experience] Fellows are placed at a nonprofit organization or government agency and work full-time under the mentorship of a senior-level professional
[Exploration] Fellows attend an orientation and frequent seminars to strengthen their understanding of the sector in which they are placed
[Exposure] Fellows attend field trips, meetings, and networking events, and are given opportunities to connect with Maryland’s leaders
[Equity] Fellows engage in a series of multi-step reflection process which explores their own relationship to social justice and equity
[Practice] Fellows work together in groups to put their knowledge and skills into practice and present their projects to stakeholders
