MRU Fellowship

Applicants must be 16 or older at the time of application. Accepted applicants who are younger than 18 will need a parent or guardian to sign the Fellowship agreement on their behalf. 

As part of the application process, applicants will need to supply the name and email address of a teacher or professor who can provide a recommendation. 

As part of our Fellowship agreement, each Fellow must grant MRU a license to use any content they create during the Fellowship; the Fellow will retain ownership of the content.

We ask our Fellows to commit to active participation throughout the program:

• Attend weekly Fellow program meetings

• Meet regularly with mentors

• Make a good-faith effort to complete projects to a high standard

Requirements for Fellows 📋

The MRU Fellowship is a remote summer internship program for top high school and college students (or new grads) with an interest in economics and a talent for sharing economic insights. Fellows will work with the MRU team to develop new, original content that brings econ to a wider audience. The Fellowship will run for 6 weeks in June and July that will include a mix of individual work, 1:1 mentorship, and collaboration with other Fellows and the whole MRU team. Each Fellow will produce a self-designed project (video, podcast, interactive, etc.) and assist with other MRU projects.

Current high school or college students (or spring 2025 grads) who have taken at least one introductory economics class and are enthusiastic about the subject. They must be strong communicators–whether in person, in writing, or on video. (Or better yet, all three!) They should be intellectually curious, thoughtful, and insightful students, interested in ideas and their implications. They should excel at applying economic reasoning to real-world issues. They can make well reasoned arguments–and recognize when someone else has made a better one. 

In short, the very best young economics students!

For this inaugural year of the Fellowship, MRU is relying on recommendations from econ teachers and professors to help identify the best candidates. We’re asking educators to share information with the current or former students who they think would be the best fit for the program. The application process will require a (short and simple!) recommendation from the teacher/professor.
