Learn more about your impact
The Marvin Andrews and Jane Morris Fellowship in Urban Management, which is a two-year program leading to a master's degree in public administration or public policy, is designed to identify the country’s most talented students aspiring to executive leadership positions in local government. In their first year, Fellows are either employed as part-time, paid management interns by Arizona State University's Center for Local Government Education and Innovation or receive a two-year part-time, paid internship in a city in the Phoenix metropolitan area. In the second year, all Fellows secure a part-time, paid internship with a city in the Phoenix metropolitan area.
