Post-Graduate Opportunities

The Olga Gruss Lewin Post-Graduate Fellowship supports graduates who have proven leadership in the Dartmouth community and who are pursuing significant acts of citizenship and service to others after graduation.

Lewin Fellowship projects, which may be hosted in the U.S. or abroad, must be full-time, 9-12 month projects with a non-profit organization.  Up to $35,000 in funding is available to cover costs, including the Fellow's living expenses.

Fellows are selected based on the merit of their proposals and consideration of their acts of citizenship and service while undergraduates.

The Fellowship was established in 2000 with an endowment from Andrew '81 and Marina Lewin, in honor of Andrew's mother for whom the fellowship is named.

Bridges to Impact supports Dartmouth's young alumni in Boston, Washington, D.C., and New York who are working, studying, or volunteering for a social impact cause. Participants join a thriving alumni network and receive mentorship in their first year post-graduation. 

Eligibility is based upon work placement, educational enrollment, or dedicated volunteering in social impact-related fields. This can include working in nonprofits, socially responsible businesses, or social research firms, teaching in schools, or pursuing graduate studies in relevant fields, such as public interest law, public health, or education, among others. Engagement in social impact must be current and ongoing, covering the entire duration of enrollment in the Bridges to Impact program.  

Those accepted into the Bridges to Impact program will be matched with Dartmouth alumni engaged in social impact professional and volunteer work to receive individualized mentorship over a one-year period (August/September 2026 to May 2027).  Simultaneously, Bridges to Impact participants will become part of an annual series of networking events, workshops and seminars designed to support professional connections and growth across Dartmouth's localized alumni communities.  

The Dartmouth Center for Social Impact will manage this program with the assistance of alumni coordinating committees, made up of Dartmouth alumni volunteers interested in fostering life-long social impact.  

Past events have included conversations with: Becca Heller '05, MacArthur Genius Fellow, about her incredible refugee work and civil rights lawyer Maya Wiley '86 about current policing methods. 

We are now recruiting those headed to NYC, Washington DC, and Boston from the Class of 2026. Recent alumni from the Classes of 2025, 2024, and 2023 should reach out directly to Phoenix Kenney Shrestha, Assistant Director of Dartmouth Center for Social Impact, to discuss their eligibility prior to applying. 

For the 2026-2027 Bridges to Impact program, applications are currently being accepted on a rolling basis. We will do our best to match applicants through early fall. 

Reach out to Phoenix Kenney Shrestha with any questions regarding the programming or with questions on how to apply.
