NCAN Remote Policy Fellowship-PAID

Description

The NCAN Remote Policy Fellowship is available to candidates pursuing or have recently completed a graduate-level degree in public policy, politics, higher education, or a related field. Applicants who are first-generation college goers, and/or have participated in or worked for NCAN-member organizations, are encouraged to apply. To be considered for this role, you should have an understanding of the policy landscape affecting college affordability, enrollment, persistence, and completion outcomes, and particularly, the barriers faced by first-generation collegegoers and students from families with low incomes, and state policy solutions to address those barriers. Some connection to the Midwest is a plus, particularly to Michigan, Minnesota, or Ohio. As an fellow, you will assist NCAN members in Michigan, Minnesota, and Ohio, in ongoing efforts to advocate for state-level policies and funding to increase the affordability of higher education and improve students’ postsecondary outcomes. You will work within NCAN’s policy team and alongside Midwest members to expand their reach and impact, affect policy change, and improve college affordability and completion outcomes for students in the Midwest. This one-year fellowship is offered on a remote basis, with the possibility of some travel to MI, MN, or OH.
