Reminder Dear Juniors and Seniors,
We have partnered with Career Services to give our junior and senior majors access to Wildcat Joblink. Wildcat JobLink is a state-of-the-art career management tool, offering UA students access to jobs, internships, and a range of other services including campus interviewing and resume referrals.
To access JobLink, please visit the Career Services website at https:// www.career.arizona.edu/joblink. All you need is your NETID and password to login and take advantage of these great services.
Why is SGPP only funding juniors and seniors to have access to JobLink? The funding comes from SGPP Program Fees, which only our junior and senior majors pay. If you are a freshman or sophomore, you are welcome to register and pay the annual $5 fee out of pocket. Visit https://www.career.arizona.edu/joblink to register.
I will be a junior at the end of the current semester. When can I have access? SGPP will be requesting access for any students who have reached 60+ credits each semester after the census date (the 21st day of the semester). So, if you will have 60+ completed credits at the end of this semester, you will be granted access next semester after the census date. If you have any questions, please email ahackett@email.arizona.edu .

Scholarship Opportunity The Arizona City/County Management Association (ACMA) is now accepting applications for two student scholarships that may be of interest to MPA, MPP students and undergraduates in your program.
The two scholarships available are: 1) the Marvin A. Andrews Scholarship & Internship, and 2) the Charles A. Esser Memorial Scholarship. The Andrews Scholarship includes a cash award and a three-month summer internship at an Arizona city, town or county, while the Esser Scholarship provides a one-time cash award to a student who is currently working or pursing a career in local government. Both scholarships will be awarded at the 2017 ACMA Winter Conference in Sedona, Arizona, on Thursday, February 2.
The ACMA Board of Directors has made changes to the eligibility of the applicants. Now Masters of Public Policy students, along with undergraduates in political science, planning, sustainability programs, and the universities’ honors colleges are eligible to apply for the Andrews Scholarship & Internship along with Masters of Public Administration students.
Likewise, the ACMA Board of Directors has opened up the Esser Scholarship to Masters of Public Administration students who are working in or pursuing a career in local government.
