The Rural Fellowship program is a unique program designed to connect college students to rural Nebraska communities to provide hands-on working experience for students, all while learning about and experiencing inclusive community leadership.

During the seven-week internship, Student Fellows typically work on projects related to workforce and economic development, business development, early childhood education, community marketing, communication, entrepreneurship, and mental health services.

Students looking to gain professional experience while earning $5,000 and have their summer housing paid for, can apply beginning October 1st. You can learn more about the program on our website (https://ruralprosperityne.unl.edu/rural-fellowship). We recruit Undergraduates, (preferably sophomores, juniors, and seniors) and Graduate students of any major from any university are welcome to apply.
