Impact Consulting Fellowship
The Impact Consulting Fellowship (ICF) is one of CSVC’s most esteemed programs and has been running for over 18 iterations now. This unique program gives students of all levels at the University of Maryland the opportunity to provide hands-on, pro-bono consulting work within a team for B-Corporations, non-profit organizations, and for-profit impact-driven organizations in various industries.
ICF Frequently Asked Questions
To participate as a general student, UMD students of any major across undergraduate, master’s, MBA, and doctoral programs are eligible to apply. To become a team lead, eligibility is limited to UMD master’s and doctoral students.
Non-MBA students applying for the team lead role must be beyond the first year of their degree. Applicants enrolled in Plus 1 MS programs are not eligible for team lead positions. If an applicant does not satisfy the stated requirements but believes their circumstances and work experiences uniquely qualify them for a leadership position, they may contact the program lead, Jiayi Wang at jwang137@umd.edu, to discuss their case.
ICF iterations begin in the beginning of the Fall and Spring semesters as well as at the beginning of the summer.
Applications launch 2-3 weeks before the program officially begins each term and are collected through Google Forms. Subscribe to our newsletter or follow us on Instagram at @creatingvalue to hear when applications open!
ICF is an amazing opportunity to build consulting skills, work with a team, expand your network, and gain professional experience. MBA students also have the unique opportunity to lead their student consulting group throughout the term.
ICF is a 5-10 hour per week time commitment for students and approximately a 2-hour commitment for partner organizations.
Contact Jiayi Wang at jwang137@umd.edu, CSVC’s Impact Consulting Fellowship Lead, with any questions.
