Scholarship details
Columbia University aims to bring together international students in compelling world issues. For the academic year of 2023-2024, Columbia University offers the Humanity in Action Fellowships.
Fellowships offer numerous opportunities for you to foster your academic and professional interests. They can assist you with studying abroad, engaging in research or public service, or taking on a postgraduate degree. Fellowships are also networking and valuable opportunities.
Every Fellowship program is custom-made to its area. Fellows are tested to understand their host city’s special history of injustice against the foundation of their own national and neighborhood contexts. Fellows find out about the host society’s present struggles to explore dominant and minoritized cultures and identities, while also being inspired by what aggregate action based on intersectional solidarity can seem to be.
About the Humanity in Action Fellowship

The program is interdisciplinary and features everyday lectures and discussions with prestigious academics, politicians, journalists, and activists, as well as site visits to government agencies, non-benefit and local area organizations, memorials, and museums.
