Empowering community leaders through learning, collaboration, and service.
The Community Fellows Program at Lehigh University connects graduate study with hands-on engagement in public and nonprofit organizations dedicated to community and economic development. Our distinctive model integrates academic training with professional practice, preparing students to address pressing issues in governance, sustainability, and public service. Fellows benefit from financial support that covers most tuition, allowing them to focus fully on their studies and agency work.
Graduates leave equipped with advanced skills, meaningful experience, and a commitment to collaboration and service. Whether pursuing careers in public administration, nonprofit leadership, or policy analysis, Community Fellows are prepared to make a measurable impact in their communities and to carry forward Lehigh’s mission of creating positive change.
