The Columbia SPS Part-Time Student Fellowship is a merit-based program designed to recognize and support part-time students who demonstrate exceptional academic potential, leadership qualities, and a commitment to making a positive impact in their field of study. The fellowship, offered to students studying part-time and matriculating in the spring term, provides financial support and fosters connection with a vibrant community of peers and faculty. Students will be chosen based on academic excellence, leadership, and impact in their field. If selected, the incoming student will receive up to $10,000 for tuition.
SPS is committed to supporting its students, many of whom are working professionals, with options that allow them to balance their studies with other responsibilities. Many of the School’s programs are offered in various formats, with online and part-time modalities and multiple intake periods. You don’t have to wait until the fall to begin your degree—start this spring and join a small, close-knit cohort of students.Through the Columbia SPS Part-Time Student Fellowship, SPS provides talented individuals—who seek to advance their careers but lack the freedom to dedicate themselves to full-time graduate study—with the resources to excel and the flexibility to pursue their academic goals.
