What is a paid fellowship?

Fellowships are short-term opportunities lasting anywhere from a few months in the summer to a year that provide you with pay. Fellowships that are a part of the LEE network are focused on developing your leadership skills, building your professional resume and also provide coaching opportunities that help you learn more about yourself and your career aspirations.

Our paid fellowships are for ALL students and can help enhance your path after highschool.
