2024-2025 Zankel Fellowship Student Application
The Zankel Fellowship is a highly competitive award. Please consult the eligibility requirements, the list of fellowship projects approved for the 2024-2025 academic year, and the FAQs before submitting an application. All information can be found at https://www.tc.columbia.edu/zankel-milman/zankel-fellowship/

The information you enter below will provide faculty and staff sponsors with a synopsis of your skills and experience. If you are shortlisted, a sponsor may contact you for an updated resume, a personal statement, or to schedule an interview. You may be shortlisted by more than one sponsor, so it is important that you rank fellowship projects carefully.

It is anticipated that awards will be made on a rolling basis starting in April. HOWEVER, THE PRIORITY DEADLINE FOR APPLICANTS IS FRIDAY, MARCH 22, 2024. Faculty sponsors may rescind fellowship awards if a candidate is unavailable to meet the schedule requirements of the project or if a candidate is not cleared to work with minors by the New York City Department of Education (the clearance process takes place during the summer). The award will then be offered to candidates on the waitlist.

If you have any questions not addressed in the FAQ section of the Zankel Fellowship webpage, please send a message to zankel_info@tc.edu
