Applications for the Initiative on Cities (IOC) 2026–2027 Menino Fellowship with the National League of Cities (NLC) are now open for Boston University undergraduate students and are due May 14, 2026.

The NLC is a national think tank that advocates for and provides technical assistance to local governments nationwide.
Students interested in this fellowship are encouraged to contact MetroBridge Program Manager David Gross at davgross@bu.edu to express their interest and/or to discuss any questions.
