UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS! Consider Applying to the Prestigious Rawlings Undergraduate Leadership Fellows Program!

Who we are: The Rawlings Undergraduate Leadership Fellows Program honors the legacy of Howard Peters "Pete" Rawlings, who was a member of the Maryland House of Delegates representing the 40th district for more than two decades.

The Rawlings Program provides students the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of Delegate Rawlings and develop as a champion for those marginalized and underrepresented in public leadership & decision-making processes.


Working with faculty, alumni and local leaders, Rawlings Fellows will develop skills and resources needed to take on leadership roles during the program and into their careers. Fellows will also grow to understand the importance of cultural pluralism and advocacy for unheard voices while developing leadership skills needed to adequately address these disparities.


The program offers opportunities for mentorship, professional development events, potential engagements with local & state leaders, the opportunity to secure an internship with a government agency, political organization or nonprofit and gain hands-on experience to actively serve in the local community. These program components help Rawlings Fellows realize their commitment to public service and further develop critical leadership skills necessary for a career in government, nonprofits or private sector jobs related to leadership and advocacy for the underrepresented.


Students must have 2 remaining semesters left at the start of the program in the fall to be eligible.


The application deadline is April 2, 2022.
