Braun invites applicants to the Indiana Governor’s Fellowship program

Governor Mike Braun announced Tuesday that applications will be accepted through March 24 for the 2025-2026 Governor’s Fellowship.

The Governor’s Fellowship is highly selective and provides a unique experience in Indiana state government by placing fellows in various state agencies on a rotating basis throughout the year.

“The opportunity to be a Governor’s Fellow is a unique way to serve our state while learning through hands-on exposure,” Gov. Braun said. “Please encourage those early in their careers to consider this fellowship as a building block in their professional experience.”

The program is open to college graduates who receive their associate or bachelor’s degrees beginning in either summer or fall of 2024 or spring of 2025 as well as those without a degree who have at least two years of full-time professional experience. Fellows are paid, full-time employees who participate in the day-to-day activities of state government.

Many Governor’s Fellow participants have gone on to successful careers in both the public and private sectors – with some serving at the highest levels of local, state, and federal government.

The application and submission guidelines can be found online at this link. To be eligible for consideration, the application and all supporting materials must be postmarked or submitted via email by March 24.

Applicants should know if they have been selected for an interview no later than Tuesday, April 15. Recipients of the Fellowship will begin July 1.
