Public Service Fellowship
Fostering innovative careers in public service
The Moynihan Public Service Fellowship supports promising undergraduate students pursuing innovative careers in public service via two dynamic fellowship tracks. Moynihan Public Service Fellows receive awards totaling $10,000, take two elective courses dedicated to professional development and public service, and participate in a paid summer internship in city government or in another public service institution.
Fellowship Features

Up to $10,000 in total awards during their fellowship year.

Full-time paid summer internship at a public service institution.

Networking
Exclusive opportunities to engage with Moynihan Public Scholars, public event participants, and the Moynihan Alumni Network.
New York City Leaders
The New York City Leaders track prepares a diverse group of talented and motivated CCNY undergraduates for future leadership roles in New York City public service. Fellows take an intensive academic curriculum grounded in the liberal arts and the practical application of public service. New York City Leaders gain hands-on professional experience through fully-funded summer internships within one of the city’s administrative bodies or a relevant non-governmental organization devoted to public service at the city level.
Public Service Innovators
Reflecting Senator Moynihan’s own uncommon career trajectory, the Public Service Innovators track encourages promising CCNY undergraduates to reimagine the contours of a career in public service. Fellows participate in a rigorous year-long curriculum devoted to professional development and the philosophy of public service. Public Service Innovators receive individualized guidance to pursue careers in a variety of institutions that serve the public interest—from government auxiliaries to public service media to non-profits.
A simple openness to alternative definitions of a problem and a willingness to concede the possibility of events taking a variety of courses. This ought to be the preeminent mode of liberalism.
Daniel Patrick Moynihan
