The Nevins Fellows program is supported by David Nevins, founder and president of Nevins Real Estate Management in State College. Nevins holds a bachelor’s degree in economics from Penn State and an MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

He currently serves as president and co-director of the Bridge Alliance, a diverse coalition of more than 80 respected established organizations committed to revitalizing democratic practice in America.

Thanks to the financial support from Nevins, the McCourtney Institute is able to cover all costs associated with the fellowship up to $5,000. This includes travel to and from the sponsoring organization’s location, room and lodging.
