2018 OPL FELLOWSHIP APPLICATION PROCESS OPENS OCTOBER 6, 2017.
The Ohio Public Leaders program provides students with a practical, co-curricular experience that enhances their understanding of the inner-workings of state and local government institutions. Students emerge prepared for success in the arena of public leadership while host organizations benefit from engaging with outstanding young talent.
The Ohio Public Leaders accepted into this program receive paid fellowships ($1,000-$5,000) and are selectively assigned to state or local government institutions or to related public or non-profit agencies throughout Ohio. The fellowships support special projects that are designed to meet the needs of partner agencies and the professional interests of Ohio Public Leaders.
With the support of the OPL Advisory Board, faculty, and professional mentors, our students may complete their Ohio Public Leader fellowship during a regular 15-week fall or spring academic semester, during a six-week Miami summer semester, or during the three-week winter session. To date, 41 Miami University students have been awarded Ohio Public Leader Fellowships.
