PAID FELLOWSHIP FOR 2L and 3L LAW STUDENTS
Stetson University College of Law and the Community Foundation of Tampa Bay formed a partnership in 2019— The Alliance for Advocacy and Philanthropy (“The Alliance”) — to benefit the Tampa Bay area. As part of the collaboration, the Alliance offers paid fellowships to Stetson Law students. We are currently looking for students to serve as fellows in the Spring 2026 semester. Students chosen for this fellowship may work virtually, at Community Foundation of Tampa Bay’s Gulfport campus, or at one of their offices in downtown St. Petersburg or Tampa. Through this paid fellowship, students will work approximately 13-15 hours per week for approximately 10- 12 weeks.
As a Community Fellow, you will gain an in-depth understanding of community philanthropy and have hands-on opportunities to work with nonprofit organizations. You will be introduced to nonprofit board governance, the grantmaking process, donor development, and funding agreements. In addition, you will receive considerable exposure to how grants are evaluated and sustained; and you may also be called upon to analyze data to support nonprofit organizational needs and to assess programmatic outcomes.
If you are interested in applying for one of these paid fellowships in the upcoming Spring 2026 semester please submit your resume and a cover letter to Professor Scully and Jesse Coraggio, Vice President of the Community Foundation of Tampa Bay at [email protected] no later than Thursday, January 22nd at 12 noon. Please indicate in your cover letter why you are interested in this position and what skills you currently possess that you think will be an asset to The Alliance.
The finalists for this fellowship will be notified no later than Monday, January 26th of their status and will be invited to virtually interview with the Alliance within that week. Students chosen to be Fellows will begin work on Friday, February 6th.
