Faber, Beagle
Announce Legislative Fellowship Program
COLUMBUS—Senate President Keith Faber (R-Celina) and State Senator Bill
Beagle (R-Tipp City) today announced that the Ohio Legislative Service
Commission is accepting applications for its prestigious 13-month
Legislative and Telecommunications Fellowship programs. The Commission
will hire 24 fellows to work with members of the Ohio General Assembly
during 2017.
"This program provides a unique opportunity for recent graduates to
explore interests in state government," said Faber. “For many, the LSC
Fellowship has led to successful careers in public policy,
communications and public service."
LSC fellows are immersed in the Ohio legislative process by assisting
members of the Ohio General Assembly with constituent work, writing
press releases and speeches, assisting in policy research, attending
meetings and performing administrative duties. Telecommunications
fellows assist in televising House and Senate proceedings and in
preparing educational video productions about the General Assembly and
the legislative process.
Fellows receive full state of Ohio employee benefits and are paid
$31,200 per year, with the opportunity to earn a $2,000 bonus based on
length of service in the program.
Legislative fellowship application materials must be postmarked by
April 1, 2016 to be considered for the program. The application
deadline for the telecommunications applicants is April 30, 2016.
All applicants must have graduated from a four-year college degree
program by the December start date. Persons holding graduate or
professional degrees may apply. The legislative fellowship program is
open to graduates of all major fields of study who have a genuine
interest in learning about state government, and no political
experience is required. The two telecommunications fellows must have
majored or minored in a telecommunications-related field of study or
have comparable experience.
