The Scholars in Local Government Program is a highly competitive career development initiative to attract graduates of masters and doctoral level programs of social work, public policy, public administration, law, business, and related fields to the Allegheny County Department of Human Services.

In addition to on-the-job training, Scholars are given unique opportunities to meet with high-level government officials, foundation executives, and nonprofit and private sector leaders, as well as participate in educational and professional development opportunities. Scholars who complete their commitment, receive a favorable evaluation, and want to continue working for the County will be given special consideration for full-time employment.
