How to Apply

The 2024-2026 application is closed. Check back in October of 2024 for information about the 2025-2027 cycle application.

Applicants to the Marvin Andrews and Jane Morris Fellowship program are accepted once a year for admission to begin each Fall. Admission is highly competitive. 

One incoming Marvin will be designated as a Jane L. Morris Fellow. Jane Morris was a well-respected, retired City of Phoenix Deputy City Manager who died unexpectedly 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 Fellowship will be chosen and operated in conjunction with the Marvin Andrews Fellowship. The selection is open to male and female applicants, but a female candidate is preferred. 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.

Requirements:

• You must graduate with your Bachelor's degree (complete all required courses) by the Spring semester preceding the start of the fellowship in the the fall semester.
• You must be a newly admitted student into the MPA or MPP program to be considered for the fellowship. Students enrolled in the ASU accelerated master’s program are eligible to apply to the fellowship. To qualify, they must commit to an additional two years of full-time enrollment in either the Master’s of Public Administration or Master’s of Public Policy programs. Students begin in the fall semester and graduate in the second spring semester. For example, a student in the accelerated program who is accepted to the fellowship would begin courses full time in Fall 2025 and graduate in Spring 2027.

• International students are not eligible to apply.
