Louis Berger Graduate Fellows Program, The Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, Rutgers University

In 2009, the Louis Berger company established the Louis Berger Graduate Fellows Program at the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University. Following an ap-plication and evaluation process, up to four Bloustein School grad-uate students, who are working toward master’s degrees in city and regional planning or in public policy, are selected for a comprehen-sive fellowship award that provides financial support during their second year of study. Each fellow also completes a full-time sum-mer internship assisting Louis Berger project teams on infrastructure assignments around the world. Since 2010, 28 Bloustein graduate students have been awarded fellowships. As part of their internship experience, Louis Berger Fellows for 2016 participated as project team members working in France, Panama, Washington, D.C., and Qatar. Between 2009 and 2016, the fellowships have been funded annually by the company for graduate students currently enrolled at the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University.
