Yes! The Accountability Fellowship is open to all full-time undergraduate students at CCNY, regardless of major, GPA, or citizenship status. However, you must be able to take the seminar and cannot have already completed it.
Fellows will get a $3,000 stipend for completing the seminar. You’ll also be part of a cohort of like-minded students from across CCNY, who you’ll get to know well over the course of the fellowship. It’s great to list fellowships on your resume, since they indicate that you went above and beyond in college.
You have to be able to take the class during its scheduled time.
Applications usually open starting January and the deadline to apply is in February.
Get started on your application early – don’t put this off until the last minute! Use as much space as allotted for your essay responses, since this will enable the readers to learn more about you and your interests. Ask a friend or family member to provide feedback on your essays and help you improve them. Talk to previous or current fellows about their experiences so that you have a better understanding of the program as you’re applying.
No. Please only apply to one fellowship per cycle.
