The Moakley Fellows program, jointly cosponsored by the Moakley Center for Public Management and the Institute for Public Service, is open to graduate students matriculating in the MPA or MPA joint degree programs. A graduate student awarded the Moakley Fellowship receives a paid 10-week summer internship totaling $5,600 in salary and expenses in a key Washington public policy-making office, beginning in June and ending in August. (Dates may vary according to placement office.)

Moakley Fellows participating in the 2011 program worked in the Office of Representative Stephen Lynch; the Office of Representative Jim McGovern; the Office of Representative Niki Tsongas; the National Mediation Board; and Capitol Associates—a bipartisan health, nonprofit, and education government relations firm.

Jeffrey Bizinkauskas described his 2011 Moakley Fellowship as “...an extraordinary experience that will forever remain with me. Working within the core of our democracy—the U.S. Capitol—during these critical moments in history provided insight that I’ll carry throughout my career.”
