John Gardner Public Service Fellowship

Gardner Fellowships provide opportunities for graduating seniors to invest their talent, energy and training in public service. Six fellows, three from Stanford and three from UC Berkeley, are selected each spring. Each is provided with a $27,500 stipend plus health insurance for ten months and an assignment to work with a government or nonprofit agency. Travel and other related expenses are provided as appropriate. In addition, each fellow is matched with a leader in public service who works fulltime at the placement organization and guides the student's professional growth and development and provides opportunities and exposure that exceed what is normally available to a recent graduate.

Through the Gardner Fellowship, recent fellows have

• researched and developed case studies to educate global health delivery leaders
• served on the group to triage Pakistan's humanitarian crisis
• overseen legislation and advocacy for comprehensive immigration reform
• co-produced a report to the Obama administration on municipal policy recommendations
