Pablo Eisenberg Public Interest Fellows

The endowed Pablo Eisenberg Public Interest Fellowship was created in 2006 to honor the work of McCourt School of Public Policy Senior Fellow Pablo Eisenberg. The fellowships are from September 15, 2025 through April 30, 2026, and are administered by the Center for Public and Nonprofit Leadership (CPNL). The fellowships, ranging from $8,000 to $10,000, are awarded to McCourt students who have demonstrated a strong commitment to social justice and systems change through their work and volunteer experience. Students will provide research and project management support to the CPNL leadership team.

Qualifications: Currently enrolled or new admit who has confirmed enrollment as a full-time student at McCourt. Demonstrated experience in, and commitment to, social justice and systems change. Excellent research and writing skills are required. Students of color are encouraged to apply.

Timeline: Apply by Wednesday, April 23 at 5:00pm ET. We will review applications on a rolling basis.

Applicants will be notified about the Fellowship awards by May 16, 2025.
