Walter Green Fellowships

The Walter Green Fellowships are for incoming or current Master's students who intend a career in public service or government and work in a paid job or internship for at least 15 hours a week. The student  must be or will be employed in a paid job or paid internship related to their program at GW in the DC Metro Area at the time of application. (GW employees are not eligible.)

Successful applicants will be representative of the goals of public service and government, such as policy and engaging/working with the community.

The academic year fellowships will be up to $6,000 for full-time study and up to $3,000 for part-time study. This award (does not cover fees) is stackable* but does not support the summer semester, only fall and spring.

Students graduating in December will be considered for special one-semester only awards.
