To Apply for a CPGC Fellowship, all applicants must submit a brief application form, a cover letter, a resume, an essay, and a recommendation form. Applicants for self-designed internships must also complete a supplemental essay and ensure submission of a letter of invitation.

While students frequently generate unique internships through self-designed applications, common themes of preparation for ethical action and consideration of broader systems of inequity, oppression, and collective organizing for social justice gather Fellows in a common experience. All Fellowships will demonstrate one or more of the following characteristics:
