ASSEMBLYMEMBER PAUL KREKORIAN ANNOUNCES
ASSEMBLY FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM APPLICATIONS
Assemblymember Paul Krekorian today announced the availability of
applications for the Assembly Fellowship Program for the 2007-2008
academic year.
The Assembly Fellowship Program is one of the most prestigious and
competitive academic programs in California for students interested in
government, public policy and politics. The 11-month fellowship program
gives college graduates the opportunity of a lifetime to become
full-time Assembly staff members working on fiscal and policy issues in
an Assemblymember’s office in the State Capitol. Fellows also
participate in a weekly academic seminar with Assemblymembers, senior
staff, journalists, lobbyists, and state government officials, while
earning 12 graduate credits from California State University,
Sacramento. In addition, Fellows are paid a monthly stipend of $1,972
per month, plus health, dental and vision benefits.
"The Assembly Fellowship Program offers a unique opportunity for young
people to play an important role in our State’s legislative process and
to help shape public policy," said Assemblymember Krekorian. "Assembly
Fellows undertake a challenging, professional work experience that will
be a strong foundation for successful careers in both the public and
private sectors."
To be eligible, applicants must have earned their
undergraduate degree by September 2007. No specific major is preferred
and recent fellows have had various majors (e.g., agricultural science,
communications, drama, ethnic studies, political science). Individuals
with advanced degrees or mid-career professionals are encouraged to
apply.
Applications are available at Assemblymember Krekorian’s district
service office at 620 North Brand Blvd., Suite 403, in Glendale
(telephone 818-240-6330). Applications are also available online
through the Center for California Studies at
The postmark deadline for submitting
applications to the program is February 28, 2007. Final Selection of
the 18 Assembly Fellows is made in May 2007 after an initial screening
of applications and a subsequent panel interview of semifinalists.
Assemblymember Krekorian was elected to the California State
Assembly in November of 2006 to serve the residents of the 43rd District
which includes the communities of Glendale, Burbank, Los Feliz, North
Hollywood, Silver Lake, Van Nuys, Valley Glen and Toluca Lake.
