The Humanities Research Scholars Program is a fellowship that allows rising juniors the opportunity to learn about and conduct independent research, consult with mentors, and to consider the ways in which humanities research speaks to the pressing challenges –existential, artistic, ethical, political, disciplinary — of our world. The fellowship includes funding for summer housing and a weekly stipend; the program runs in the first summer session.
The Deadline is March 19, 2020. Please e-mail Ariella Lang at al223@columbia.edu if you have any questions.
Candidates for the Humanities Research Scholars Program should meet the following criteria:
- Current sophomores in Columbia College (at time of application);
- In good academic and disciplinary standing, with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.3;
- Willing to commit to performing research for the first six-week summer session for approximately 25-35 hours per week and to attending seminars, training sessions, advising sessions, and other meetings;
- Committed to participating in a College-wide symposium to present their research findings and to share their research with the broader community, as described above.
