John Olderman, MPA ’16, selected as CBC Public Policy Fellow

 

Congratulations to John Olderman, MPA ’16, recently selected as a 2015-16 Citizens Budget Commission Public Policy Fellow. The paid fellowship will give the International Finance and Economic Policy concentrator an opportunity to conduct in-depth research and produce a final report on a certain type of post-employment benefits.

Interschool Fellowships

Each year, Columbia makes a few scholarships and fellowships available to students from all schools within the University. These awards, known as Interschool Fellowships, are the result of donations from generous supporters of the University and tend to have very specific eligibility criteria.  The annual amounts of these awards are generally in the range of $1,000 to $5,000. To see if you may meet the eligibility criteria required to apply for these awards for the 2015-2016 academic year, please review them here.

If you meet the full criteria for one or more of these Interschool Fellowships, to apply please submit this Application Form and accompanying materials no later than Monday June 15, 2015.

Please read the information carefully and do not apply for an award for which you do not meet all criteria. Applications that do not meet the eligibility criteria, or applications that are incomplete, will not be accepted.

Since these awards are for all Columbia University students, SIPA does not choose the recipients, but we can  nominate eligible applicants. Decisions on the awards will be made in late August.

Please submit all applications (and accompanying materials) to the SIPA Financial Aid Office no later than the close of business, Monday June 15, so we may properly review all applications. You may mail all materials directly to us at 514 West 113th Street, New York, NY 10025.

Here are a few scholarships worth applying to

With the New Year there are new scholarships (along with their looming deadlines). Many SIPA students receive aid from outside sources, such as their employers, philanthropic groups, or agencies in their own countries. However, those aren’t the only sources of funding. There are thousands of organizations out there that want to assist students with their education in public policy and international affairs. Below are a few outside scholarships for SIPA applicants that were hand-selected by our Office of Financial Aid.
