Eligibility
Candidates for the Fellows Program in Public Affairs are bright, self-motivated individuals who are committed to civic engagement. A Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience is required and post-graduate academic and/or work experience is desirable. Most candidates have been active in civic or campus activities. Evidence of leadership potential and concern for the well being of communities are also criteria for selection. Fellows come from all academic disciplines, careers and ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds.
Selection Process
As part of Coro's national process, applicants must send their application to the Coro Center located nearest them. Based on a review of written applications, Coro will invite finalists to attend a daylong interview at that center city in March. Candidates are notified of their acceptance to the program in early April and are placed in one of five Coro Centers.
During the application process, candidates are asked to indicate any connections or resources in center cities that would assist them personally or financially. However, candidates must still apply through the center to which they are nearest geographically. The selection of finalists is a national process. Applicants who limit the locations in which they are willing to accept the Fellowship will reduce their chances of being selected as a Coro Fellow.
Coro is a tax-exempt, non-partisan educational institution supported by foundations, corporations and individuals. Coro does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, national or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, or physical disability.
