    ASSEMBLYMEMBER PAUL KREKORIAN ANNOUNCES
    ASSEMBLY FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM APPLICATIONS



    Assemblymember Paul Krekorian today announced the availability of
    applications for the Assembly Fellowship Program for the 2007-2008
    academic year.

    The Assembly Fellowship Program is one of the most prestigious and
    competitive academic programs in California for students interested in
    government, public policy and politics. The 11-month fellowship program
    gives college graduates the opportunity of a lifetime to become
    full-time Assembly staff members working on fiscal and policy issues in
    an Assemblymember's office in the State Capitol. Fellows also
    participate in a weekly academic seminar with Assemblymembers, senior
    staff, journalists, lobbyists, and state government officials, while
    earning 12 graduate credits from California State University,
    Sacramento. In addition, Fellows are paid a monthly stipend of $1,972
    per month, plus health, dental and vision benefits.

    "The Assembly Fellowship Program offers a unique opportunity for young
    people to play an important role in our State's legislative process and
    to help shape public policy," said Assemblymember Krekorian. "Assembly
    Fellows undertake a challenging, professional work experience that will
    be a strong foundation for successful careers in both the public and
    private sectors."

    To be eligible, applicants must have earned their
    undergraduate degree by September 2007. No specific major is preferred
    and recent fellows have had various majors (e.g., agricultural science,
    communications, drama, ethnic studies, political science). Individuals
    with advanced degrees or mid-career professionals are encouraged to
    apply.

    Applications are available at Assemblymember Krekorian's district
    service office at 620 North Brand Blvd., Suite 403, in Glendale
    (telephone 818-240-6330). Applications are also available online
    through the Center for California Studies at
    www.csus.edu/calst/assembly. The postmark deadline for submitting
    applications to the program is February 28, 2007. Final Selection of
    the 18 Assembly Fellows is made in May 2007 after an initial screening
    of applications and a subsequent panel interview of semifinalists.

    Assemblymember Krekorian was elected to the California State
    Assembly in November of 2006 to serve the residents of the 43rd District
    which includes the communities of Glendale, Burbank, Los Feliz, North
    Hollywood, Silver Lake, Van Nuys, Valley Glen and Toluca Lake.
