Greetings:
I’m writing to share that MDRC, an education and social policy research organization headquartered in New York City, is now accepting applications for its summer 2026 Gueron Scholars Program. I ask that you share the program announcement in your network. The Gueron Scholars Programs offers a paid 8-week internship for rising college seniors and master’s students and a fellowship for doctoral students.Applications are due on Friday, January 23, 2026.
Read the internship and fellowship announcements (found at the links below) to learn more about eligibility and application requirements.
- Link to undergraduate internship
- Link to master’s internship
- Link to doctoral fellowship
The announcements are posted to MDRC’s Careers page and have also been disseminated via Handshake, HBCU Connect, Idealist, Indeed, LinkedIn and Symplicity.
To ensure that the announcement reaches a broad group of students, when sharing in your networks, please invite contacts who work in colleges and universities to promote the Gueron Scholars Program widely. For example, your contacts can share the announcements with administrators, including department heads, program coordinators (of relevant majors/concentration), faculty, teaching assistants, center directors, and relevant student clubs. If there is interest, an MDRC staff member is available to join a class or other campus meeting for 15 minutes by Zoom to discuss the program and answer students’ questions. Please also consider sharing with scholarship programs and organizations that support student access and success.
Thank you for your help spreading the word about the Gueron Scholars Program and feel free to contact me with questions.
Best,
Crystal
