Academic Placements
Discover more ways to be part of the Reprieve team
We are pleased to accept applications for seasonal fellowships from those funded by their university or other public interest bodies, with funding disbursed directly to the fellow. We accept applications for placements on academic credit within the school year, and not over the summer when applicants must be externally funded. We cannot consider applicants who wish to self-fund their placements.
Applicants should be available to work full-time for Reprieve for at least 8 weeks. We are pleased to accept applications for the summer of 2026.
Update as of February 2026: We are still accepting applications for summer seasonal fellowships on a rolling basis.
