Named after Sr. Carol Coston, an Adrian Dominican Sister, and one of NETWORK’s foundresses, this Fellowship awards students with a position in a learning community of young justice seekers for one academic year. The Sr. Carol Coston, OP Fellowship honors Coston’s legacy by providing a paid opportunity for students to participate in NETWORK’S advocacy at the federal level, as we work to achieve an inclusive, multiracial, multi-faith democracy. Coston Fellows enter a national community of student leaders organizing on NETWORK’s current policy agenda at Catholic colleges and universities. Our current policy agenda, An Economy for All, demands: jobs with paid leave and wages that cover our bills, retirement, and more; affordable housing, food, and health care; safe and welcoming neighborhoods; clean air and water; a tax code that ensures the wealthy pay their fair share; a just and humane immigration system; and politics responsive to the people, not the money. With support from NETWORK staff, Coston Fellows study principles of Catholic social justice and policy issues through the lived experiences of real people, learn to articulate NETWORK’S policy agenda, train as organizers, engage in coalition-building on campus and in their communities, coordinate public actions (prayer vigils, sign-on letters, prayer walks, etc.), run nonpartisan voter registration campaigns, write effective letters-to-the-editor, and organize and lead virtual, in-district, and Washington-based constituent visits with representatives and senators. https://actionnetwork.org/forms/coston-fellowship-application-2026
