policy and leadership graduate assistantships
An Investment with a Long-Term Payoff
In the long run, we probably benefit Illinois most through our students and the experience and expertise they gain in the Center.
Your crucial support will place graduate interns in Center units such as
- the Survey Research Office,
- WUIS Public Radio,
- the Institute for Legal, Legislative, and Policy Studies.
You can support these exceptional educational opportunities, which do so much to contribute to the working force in Springfield, by giving to one of two funds
- The CSPL Student Fellowship and Internship Fund Donate
- The Graduate Public Service Internship Program Fund Donate
Triple the Benefit
Remember, when you give to internships, you triple the value of your gift:
- Students benefit by gaining experience through work that prepares them for their future careers and areas of service.

- Professors and programs benefit by gaining hard workers, committed to the area of research, service, or study that professors are doing.
- We all gain through the contributions students make to the larger Springfield and Illinois community.
So please—give generously.
