BUMP - Fellowships
Up to four year-long Fellowships are offered annually in the following areas: Technology, Public Health, Public Safety, and Performance Management. Applicants are recent graduate degree recipients with a strong interest in Public Service. As a result of the financial challenges in the upcoming fiscal year, that the City of Boston has suspended the Fellowship program for 2009-2010, we hope to reinstate the program in the future.
