SYI Fellowship Reference Form

The Miller Undergraduate Fellowship

The Miller Undergraduate Fellowship is a six-week paid residential internship for civic engagement, leadership development, and vocational discernment. Fellows deepen their faith and spirituality, develop their sense of calling, and expand their vision for making a difference in the world. They do so by participating in Seminars (discussion-based classroom learning) and Exploratorys (context-based experiential learning), and by mentoring Neighborhood Scholars (rising high school juniors and seniors) who also participate in the internship program.

If you have any questions about the program or about this reference form, please contact Derek Woodard-Lehman ( / +1 412 924-1368)
