Opportunity for Former Volunteers

Trinity Fellows Program, Marquette University

Milwaukee, Wisconsin


Full-time service organization volunteers and alumni are invited to apply for graduate study in the Marquette University Trinity Fellows Program, a 21-month study/work program offering master’s degrees in business, civil and environmental engineering, communication, dispute resolution, economics, English, history, international affairs, applied philosophy, political science, or public service.

While engaged in full-time graduate study, Fellows work on substantive projects designed by selected nonprofit organizations in the Milwaukee area. The nonprofit work commitment is 18 hours per week during each academic year and 40 hours per week during the intervening summer.

To qualify for the program, student applicants must meet the admission standards of the graduate school and must have completed service in AmeriCorps, the Peace Corps, Jesuit Volunteer Corps, or comparable full-time volunteer organization.

Each fellowship includes a monthly stipend ($1565 per month) and a full-tuition scholarship. Each student is charged a participation fee of $1250 per semester. Up to ten fellowship awards will be distributed each year.
