Appendix B: Fellowship Placement 

Pilot Program—Fellows Criteria for 

Selection 

The fellows selection of the fellowship 

program will be open nationally to all 

qualified applicants. The Administrator will 

help develop the application and selection 

criteria for new recruits. The Administrator 

will conduct the competition for fellows. 

At minimum, core perquisites must require 

that candidates: 

• Have 3–5 years of work experience, 

where candidates with graduate degrees are 

preferred; 

• Make a 2 year commitment; 

• Have prior experience in the area of 

community development, economic 

development, community or other public 

service, or related field; 

• Be a problem solver, critical thinker and 

potential manager; 

• Have a proven track record of 

entrepreneurship or social entrepreneurship, 

ability to work through bureaucracies to get 

things done; and 

• Demonstrate a commitment and passion 

to public service. 

In addition, applicants will be asked to 

rank order their location choices, and to 

articulate their interest in, or connection to 

any particular location(s). The selected 

Administrator may explore giving preference 

to candidates that already live in a pilot city. 

The selection process for fellows may 

involve multiple rounds of review that will 

culminate to several in-person group 

interviews. After the in-person interviews, a 

selection committee will make the final 

selection decisions. Fellows that best match 

the needs of the pilot cities based on their 

existing area of knowledge and skill set will 

be selected for the program. To ensure 

fellows are properly matched to the needs of 

each pilot city, the selection process will 

include a review of the results from the city 

assessments that were initially conducted for 

each pilot city before selection.
