A CPGC Fellowship is a funded opportunity for Bi-Co students to advance social justice learning and action.
Note: Before applying to a CPGC Fellowship, please carefully review Key Commitments and Dates.
There are two primary types of CPGC summer experiences, partnership experiences and self-designed experiences. Both types can occur internationally, domestically, or close to campus. Partnership opportunities are with organizations the CPGC continues relationships with organizations from year to year. Partnerships are typically more structured and require less logistical and planning work on the student’s part.
Students may also develop and propose a self-designed summer fellowship. Self-designed opportunities allow students to develop a project or work for an organization that fits within their justice, career, and academic interests The CPGC may also share information about internships made possible through faculty or alumni connections that students can pursue through a self-designed application. More information on each type appears below. Whether participating in self-designed or partnership experiences, all Summer Fellows are expected to participate in and contribute to the CPGC Fellowship Commitments.
