For 40 years, National Urban Fellows has addressed one the most important and challenging issues faced by America today – the under-representation of people of color and women in leadership – particularly in the public and non-profit sectors.

One of the oldest and finest leadership development organizations in the United States, particularly for men and women of color, for 40 years National Urban Fellows has developed leaders who identify issues, shape solutions and form policy.

Our 14- month scholarship program links academics with a nine-month mentorship that culminates in a Masters in Public Administration. It is the only program in the country where Fellows receive an advanced degree and critical leadership experience.

Today, well over 1,100 Alumni make a personal and professional impact in government and nonprofit organizations across the United States.

National Urban Fellows continues to develop the leadership for a changing America.
