Van Amson Service Fellowship

Columbia and Barnard undergraduates who have secured unpaid summer service or non-for-profit internships in NYC, or are interested in an internship at Community Impact, can apply for the Van Amson Service Fellowship, formerly known as the Community Impact Fellowship. All fellows receive sponsored housing and a $3000 stipend which are provided through Community Impact. The application for the Summer of 2010 will be posted in the spring of 2010.

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.
