Van Amson Service Fellowship
Columbia, SEAS, GS and Barnard undergraduates can apply for the Van Amson Service Fellowship, formerly known as the Community Impact Fellowship. Whether you have secured an unpaid summer service or non-profit internship in NYC, you are interested in proposing a summer project to benefit Community Impact, or you are interested in working with a professor to develop a service learning component for his/her class, the Van Amson Service Fellowship is right for you!
All fellows receive sponsored housing and a $3000 stipend, provided by Community Impact. The application for the Summer of 2011 is now closed. Please visit this page in Spring of 2012 for more application information.
The fellowship came about in response to a proposal submitted by the Community Impact Student Executive Board in the spring of 2007. Provost Brinkley, on behalf of Columbia University, authorized an annualized fund to promote public interest work and service learning. The fund was named after CI Board Member and CU trustee emeritus George Van Amson.
