2016-summer-fellowsThe ILS Summer Fellowship program provides students with a ten-week internship working with non-profit organizations in areas like public policy analysis or educational programs. In addition to their work placement, Summer Fellows take part in weekly webinars and attend Freedom Week.

The program is open to undergraduate and graduate students in any field, as well as recent graduates (within two years). Work placements may be remote or in-person.

Past placements have included:

  • The Alberta Institute
  • The Canadian Constitution Foundation
  • The Macdonald-Laurier Institute
  • The Montreal Economic Institute
  • SecondStreet.org
  • Liberty Fund
  • The Institute for Liberal Studies

Placements will run from early June until mid-August and will conclude with our Freedom Week conference, scheduled for August 11-17, 2024 in Montreal.

Fellows will be paid either $15/hour or minimum wage in the province in which they reside (whichever is higher), and receive travel assistance of up to $400 to attend Freedom Week.

We expect to conduct virtual interviews in March and successful applicants will receive offers of placement by the end of April. Please note that previous participants in the Summer Fellowship program are not eligible to participate again. However, students who applied last year but were not accepted are encouraged to apply again.

Applications are due by February 22, 2024.
