ApplyAbout the role
College And Graduate School Student FellowshipsSPUR has officially closed fellowship applications for Summer 2026, but you're welcome to submit your materials for future consideration. SPUR fellowships offer mentorship, flexibility, hands-on experience, the opportunity to publish and present original research, and access to SPUR's large network of civic organizations, policymakers, and business leaders. SPUR offers a stipend of up to $2,000 per summer fellow, with the expectation that fellows will work approximately 20 hours per week for about 4 weeks, averaging $25/hour. We also accept applications from students with external funding from their college/university or another institution, which could be part-time or full-time, depending on the amount offered. If you have any questions, please contact us.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
