For Students

The Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey offers four competitive interdisciplinary fellowship programs that connect Rutgers graduate students to the practice of politics through a required course and internship. These one-year fellowships aim to add a hands-on understanding of politics and government to the student’s academic course of study. Fellowship types include:
     * Henry J. Raimondo Legislative Fellowships
     * Governor's Executive Fellowships
     * Harold and Reba Martin Fellowships
     * Alumni Fellowship

We invite students at the beginning of their junior year at Rutgers to apply to Eagleton Institute's Undergraduate Associates Program. The program offers an opportunity for a select group of students to study government and politics and share in the activities and resources of the Institute during their last three semesters at Rutgers.

NEW Leadership™ is CAWP’s national initiative to educate and empower the next generation of women leaders. NEW Leadership™ teaches college women the value of civic engagement and encourages them to see themselves as empowered leaders who can effectively participate in politics and public policy.

RU Ready’s mission is to provide young people with encouragement and practical advice to enable them to participate actively in the civic life of New Brunswick.

RU Voting provides election and voter information to Rutgers students.

As part of its efforts to promote civic education about representative democracy, the Eagleton Institute is offering small grants to teachers of social studies in middle schools and high schools throughout New Jersey.

The quality of our democracy is based in large part on the education youth receive in citizenship. Through research, public service, and educational programs, YPPP is dedicated to exploring civic education at the high school level and political participation among young adults.
