Dear colleagues in service,
Greetings from the Trinity Fellows Program at Marquette University! Trinity Fellows is now accepting applications for our 2020 cohort and we believe this opportunity may be of interest to you, your staff, volunteers, or alumni. We invite you to share information about our program to those interested and eligible in pursuing a master’s degree while deepening their commitment to social justice.
Trinity Fellows Program Overview:
The Trinity Fellows Program is a 21- month study/work graduate fellowship program dedicated to developing urban leaders with a commitment to social and economic justice. While engaged in full-time graduate study, Fellows work at area nonprofit agencies 18 hours per week for two academic years and 40 hours per week during the intervening summer.
Trinity offers fellowships in 15 fields of study: Business, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Communication, Corporate Communication, Economics, Educational Policy and Leadership, English, History, International Affairs, Management, Applied Philosophy, Political Science, Public Service, Spanish, or Theology. Up to 12 fellowships will be awarded per year. The deadline to apply is January 15, 2020.
Eligibility, Benefits, Fees:
Qualified applicants must be accepted to their chosen master’s degree program at Marquette (see Graduate School or Graduate School of Management for further details), and must have completed service in AmeriCorps, the Peace Corps, Jesuit Volunteer Corps, or a comparable full-time volunteer organization OR completed 2+ years of full-time employment with a nonprofit organization. The length of full-time service commitment should be no less than ten months; one or more years preferred. There is no time limit between close of service and application to our program.
- Fellowships include a monthly stipend (currently $1,665 per month) and a full-tuition scholarship. These benefits exceed $60,000 for the 21-month program.
- Each student is charged a $1,250 participation fee per semester (fees total $5,000). Education awards (i.e. Segal Education Award or Peace Corps Readjustment Allowance) can be used.
More information and application instructions can be found at www.marquette.edu/trinityfellows.

Please let me know if Trinity can be of assistance, or if there are ever opportunities to connect with your staff, volunteers, or alumni. I welcome the opportunity talk or correspond with anyone interested in applying to our program. It can be very useful to go over some details about the program model and application process. I am also available for presentations, conference calls, and tabling at events. Feel free to reach out to me at alisha...@marquette.edu or 414-228-0260, or Carolyn Swabek, Director, at carolyn...@marquette.edu or 414-288-0637.
Thank you for sharing this opportunity and for your service.
All the best,
