Abstract

The Walter Sondheim Jr. Public Service Summer Internship Scholarship Program was established by House Bill 269. The Shriver Center at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) was asked to establish and administer this program to ensure that students across Maryland would have an opportunity to intern in various nonprofit, state, and/or local government entities each summer while earning a stipend. The Shriver Center succeeded in meeting this goal through the administration and implementation of three successful internship programs on behalf of the State of Maryland under the Walter Sondheim Jr. Public Service Summer Internship Scholarship Program umbrella, which includes the Walter Sondheim Jr. Maryland Nonprofit Leadership Internship Program, Governor’s Summer Internship Program, and the Walter Sondheim Jr. Maryland Public Service Law Fellowship. The MDOT Fellows program is funded through an MOU with the Maryland Department of Transportation
