Each year, Columbia University makes a few scholarships and fellowships available to students from all schools within the university. These Interschool Fellowships have very specific eligibility criteria, but it doesn’t hurt to take a look and see if you’re eligible to apply. To see if you meet the eligibility criteria, please click here, select the “Funding from Columbia University” link, and find the Columbia University Interschool Fellowships in the list of links. There you will find a link to a PDF document that serves as an application and descriptions of the awards. (I’ve also included descriptions of the awards below.)
All applications must be submitted to the SIPA Financial Aid Office no later than Friday, June 24, 2016 at 5:00 p.m. EST. Questions? Email our financial aid officers at [email protected].
