The Center offers graduate and undergraduate students paid nonprofit management fellowships with the Boston Foundation, as well as teaching assistantships, scholarships, and other fellowships for students interested in community engagement and leadership.
Scott/Ross Center Fellowship in Non-profit Management
Beginning summer 2011, Simmons students have the opportunity to explore non-profit management while also developing and applying their skills to the service of a Boston area non-profit organization. Emily Scott Pottruck '78 , member of the College's Board of Trustees, established two 8-week paid fellowships for students with distinguished records of community service to pursue their interest and further expand their knowledge in philanthropy and grant making and non-profit programming and management challenges.
The fellows work with the Boston Foundation to gain an understanding of foundations and the procedures related to grant making. They will also be placed in up to two non-profit community partners to further develop programmatic expertise and to understand management issues and challenges in leading non-profit organizations. Specific projects will be designed based on the student's interests and experience and may relate to such aspects of nonprofit management as governance, financial management, fundraising, human resources, volunteer management, marketing and communications and leadership.
The 2011 Summer Fellows:
