Columbia University invites members of the Upper Manhattan community to apply to become an A’Lelia Bundles Community Scholar.
For a three-year period, Bundles Scholars are given access to academic resources, including libraries, course auditing, and campus events. They also receive a Columbia email address, an ID card, and an annual stipend of $500. While it is not a degree program, scholars do have opportunities to share their work and build relationships across the University. Past scholars have worked on a wide variety of projects, including developing nonprofits, writing books, and conducting research in their area of interest. Up to five scholars are selected each year and projects with a community connection are greatly encouraged.
Learn more about the A'Lelia Bundles Community Scholars Program in this virtual information session, including an overview of the application process, the benefits of being a Bundles Scholar, and an opportunity to ask questions about the program.
Applications for the coming cohort of Scholars are due on April 30.
