The Michelson 20MM Foundation is looking for student leaders who are passionate about breaking barriers to education to join our 2025 Student Fellowship Cohort.

The Michelson 20MM Student Fellows Program is a paid opportunity for students to build their skills as advocates and empower them to tackle issues across higher education that directly impact students. As a fellow, students will use organizing, research, and direct advocacy to execute their own project within one of our specific issue areas (Digital Equity, Criminal Justice Reform, Student Basic needs, Intellectual Property, and Textbook Affordability). Fellows will be matched with a Program Manager based on their skills or selected program preference, and will be provided with several training elements, professional development, and sponsored conference attendance/presentation opportunities. The fellowship will culminate into a capstone presentation each student will present at the end of the fellowship cycle.

Applications will close May 6, 2025. If you’d like to learn more about our student fellowship program, visit our website. 

Please feel free to contact me, m.martinez@20mm.org, if you have any questions!
