Internship Requirements for Timothy J. Penny Public Service Fellowships:
Internships for the Timothy J. Penny Federal Public Service Fellowship must be with the federal government or an agency thereof outside of Minnesota. Internships for the Timothy J. Penny State Public Service Fellowship must be in the state of Minnesota.
You do not need to have an internship secured at the time of your fellowship application. If awarded, you will have up to one year to implement your internship plan/proposal, and assistance in securing an internship may be available from Students United/The Penny Program upon request. If you have already secured an internship at the time of your fellowship application, please include a letter of confirmation from the internship supervisor.
Fellowships are not retroactive, and internships may not already be underway at the application deadline. Internships may begin after the application deadline (when your fellowship application is under consideration). If you are granted a Penny Fellowship, you will be required to provide confirmation from the supervisor of the internship before funds are released
