The National Urban Fellows’ Academic & Leadership Development Program is designed for mid-career professionals who are committed to public service careers in the Government and Non Profit sectors. Individuals best-matched to fulfill the organization’s mission will demonstrate leadership skills with potential for further growth and a passion to work for equity and social justice. Fellows should possess strong personal character, integrity, and a sound work ethic; they should also be self- disciplined and have a positive attitude, and want to effect positive changes in communities nationally and internationally.
During the program, fellows receive a stipend, health insurance, a book allowance, relocation and travel reimbursement, and full payment of tuition, in addition to ongoing personal and professional development support.

There is no age restriction for applying to the program; however, the National Urban Fellows’ Academic & Leadership Development Fellowship Program is designed for mid-career professionals who possess 5-7 years of experience in a management or administrative capacity.
