The Senate Undergraduate Session Assistants Program offers approximately 30 undergraduate students an opportunity to experience state government and the legislative process through their participation in an on-site, academic enriching and career building work experience. Typically, up to 15 credit hours are awarded by most participating SUNY, CUNY, and independent colleges and universities, and CUNY students receive a $6,140 stipend.
The Graduate Fellowships offered by the Senate include Legislative Fellowships ($33,000 stipend) and Memorial Fellowships. Legislative Fellows are assigned to a specific Senator’s office, where they will function largely as if they were regular staff. While duties vary depending on the needs of the member, Legislative Fellows generally perform in-depth policy research, take part in meetings with various interest groups and constituents, and attend legislative sessions. Memorial Fellowships are awarded to applicants who demonstrate the unique qualifications and abilities required of each position. There are three such placements, each awarded to a single individual for the Fellowship class.
