We are excited to continue the Rural Fellowship program during the summer of 2022!

The Rural Fellowship program is a unique program designed to connect college students to rural Nebraska communities to provide hands-on working experience for students who will be helping communities accomplish community identified projects. The student Fellows typically work on projects related to workforce and economic development, business development, early childhood education, community marketing and communication, entrepreneurship, mental health services, while learning about and experiencing inclusive community leadership.

We are currently looking for students who may be interested in earning $5000 through this experience. Students can learn more about the program on our Rural Prosperity Nebraska website. Undergraduate and graduate students of any major with a minimum of 2.5 GPA are welcome to apply.

Applications open on November 1st. There will also be an informational webinar on Thursday, November 4th, where additional information will be provided and questions will be answered.

If you have any questions now, please feel free to contact Jennifer Okoliko at ruralfellows@unl.edu.
