Jesse Marvin Unruh Assembly Fellowship Program

The Jesse Marvin Unruh Assembly Fellowship Program offers individuals the opportunity to serve in the California State Assembly from October through September. Eighteen fellows are selected annually to gain practical, first-hand knowledge of the legislature through work experiences and weekly seminars. Fellows receive 12 graduate units through two graduate seminars taught by faculty from the Government Department of California State University, Sacramento. This fellowship provides valuable professional development in public service and state government, combining practical legislative experience with academic study. The program is designed for individuals who have completed their bachelor's degree and are interested in pursuing graduate-level education while working in the California legislature.
