A few scholarship opportunities

Over the next several weeks, I’ll occasionally post upcoming scholarship deadlines for anyone interested in studying public policy and international affairs. Our financial aid officers dug through SIPA’s external funding database, and found a few notable scholarships with upcoming deadlines; which I’m sharing with you today. But since the curated list is composed of more than 250 award opportunities, don’t forget to regularly check the database for yourself so you’re well aware of what’s to come. Read More →

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.

Yellow Ribbon Program

The Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs is pleased to announce the application for the Yellow Ribbon Program Scholarship, available to eligible veterans of the US Armed Forces, for the 2014/15 academic year.

The Yellow Ribbon Program is an initiative authorized by the Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008 (the Post-9/11 GI Bill) in which educational institutions provide eligible student veterans with a partial tuition waiver or grant matched by the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs. This program supplements the base educational benefits provided by the Post-9/11 GI Bill. To be eligible for the Yellow Ribbon Program, you must be a US veteran eligible for the maximum level (100%) of benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill according to your VA Certificate of Eligibility. If you are a veteran of the US Armed Forces and would like to learn more about eligibility for these benefits, please visit the GI Bill website at www.gibill.va.gov/.

SIPA is committed to honoring those who have served our country by being one of seventeen individual schools at Columbia University participating in the Yellow Ribbon Program.   An application is required and will be available on our website by Monday June 9, 2014 at noon, Eastern Daylight Time. The application will be a Google document that is to be submitted online; no other documentation is required. Those who received a Yellow Ribbon scholarship at SIPA in the 2013/14 academic year and will be enrolled at SIPA for 2014/15 [and have maintained their eligibility] need not reapply, the award will be renewed in an amount based on available funding.

SIPA cannot guarantee funding for every eligible candidate, and funding will be on a first come, first served basis, so please make sure that you complete the application no later than June 27, 2014.

"The most global public policy school, where an international community of students and faculty address world challenges."
