2013 Graduate School Fellowship Placement Options

10-week summer placement (June through August 2013)
Yearlong placement (June 2013 through June 2014)

The 10-week summer Graduate School Fellowship provides our Partners with the best graduate school students from our nation's top business, education, policy and law programs who have the skills and experience to advance and complete strategic initiatives during a focused timeframe. In many cases, our Fellows' 10-week projects provide frameworks to guide organizations for a year or more.

The yearlong placement of the Graduate School Fellowship was created to serve Partners who need full-time talent. The Graduate School Fellowship yearlong placement provides our Partners with the best recent graduates from our nation's top business, education, policy and law programs who have the skills and experience to advance and complete strategic initiatives. Graduate School Fellows in the yearlong placement have an average of 4.5 years of full-time work experience by the time they begin their one-year Fellowship commitment.

2013 - 2014 Analyst Fellowship (September 2013 - June 2014)

To meet the demand for more analytic talent in education, the 10-month Analyst Fellowship identifies early career professionals who have at least two years of work experience at top-tier private-sector firms and have demonstrated exceptional analytic, quantitative and project management skills. We place Analyst Fellows with Partner organizations in select locations, where they lead and manage strategic, data-based projects.
