Baltimore to offer paid fellowship program for recent city HBCU graduates

Baltimore will create a fellowship program with the city’s two historically Black colleges and universities to encourage city students to choose careers in public service. The program, which Mayor Brandon Scott, a Democrat, announced Thursday, will use $4 million in federal coronavirus relief funds to pay stipends to 25 recent graduates of Coppin State University and Morgan State University. Graduates will work for a variety of city agencies for nine months while receiving professional development training.
