The Matsui Pathways to Federal Public Service Fellowship Program is a collaboration between the Robert T. Matsui Center for Politics and Public Service and Cal in the Capital (CITC). It is designed to provide students who represent the diversity of American society – particularly first-generation and low-income students – with the resources, support, training and experience needed to create a pathway into federal changemaking spaces. This program is available to CITC students who demonstrate financial need. In addition, all Pathways students will be required to take a 1-unit spring course (Wednesdays 4pm-6pm).
