A competitive two-year fellowship connecting ambitious students to the careers, networks, and opportunities in public service they wouldn't otherwise know to pursue.
Public service isn't something you do. It's something you build over a lifetime.
Opus exists to catch students early, before they've missed the window or assumed these careers weren't for them. It pairs each fellow with mentorship, real deliverables, and a two-year runway long enough to turn ambition into a body of work worth showing for it.
Open to any student who can commit to both years, with a 3.0 GPA or higher.
