Cal-in-Sac Supplemental Fellowships

Cal-in-Sacramento Supplemental Fellowships

Most summer internships are unpaid. To assist with affordability and ensure that this life-changing public service opportunity is open to all student regardless of financial status, the Cal-in-Sac Fellowship Program provides students with free, shared housing at Sac State, a $200 transportation stipend, and a modest living stipend (usually $750-$1000). Cal-in-Sacramento applicants are also invited to apply to one of the following supplemental Fellowships, which includes a larger living stipend ($2550) along with specific requirements related to the Fellows' placement or policy memo topic. Supplemental Fellowship applications are included in the Cal-in-Sacramento application form. Note that these Fellowships are only awarded to accepted Cal-in-Sacramento Fellows.
