One incoming Marvin will be designated as a Jane L. Morris Fellow. Jane Morris was a well-respected local government professional who died suddenly in 2016. The Fellowship, the School of Public Affairs, and the ASU Foundation were given a generous gift by Jane's family to honor her and to support young professionals entering the field of local government management. The Jane Morris Fellow will be chosen and operated in conjunction with the Marvin Andrews Fellows. The selection is open to male and female applicants, but a female candidate is preferred.
There is no separate application. Please follow the same process as the Marvin Andrews Fellowship to apply. If selected, you will be notified when you learn about your Marvin Andrews application status and you will be known as either a Marvin Andrews or Jane Morris Fellow.
