Gain Experience and Make an Impact! Explore potential career paths and gain invaluable professional skills. GradFUTURES Social Impact Fellowships are bespoke opportunities for Princeton graduate students with nonprofit organizations that have partnered with the Graduate School. Host organizations work closely with the Graduate School to determine the learning outcomes and professional development goals for these immersive experiences. Each fellowship is custom-designed for you to apply discipline-specific skills, gain interdisciplinary project team experience, and receive one-on-one mentoring while contributing to the social impact mission of the organization. You gain exposure to organizational dynamics and leadership strategies, participate in virtual meetings and/or presentations, and complete meaningful projects that address local, regional, national, and global challenges. The average time commitment is 10 hours per week for the length of a semester or during the summer. “Sometimes you don't realize how transferable your skill sets are until you have to apply them in different circumstances—this works both ways between industry and academia. The GradFUTURES Social Impact Fellowship gave me the chance to reevaluate my skills and research field from a novel perspective. It's both reassuring and freeing to see how academic trainings can be situated in real-world contexts." –Isla Xi Han, GS, ARC Fall 2024 Opportunities Deadline for Applications is September 7, 2024 at midnight.
