Fellowships for Juniors

Clark Foundation Fellowship

Manhattan College is one of 25 colleges invited to nominate students for a Clark Foundation Fellowship.

The Clark Foundation provides a $10,000 supplement to the Fellow's salary for 2 years (totaling $20,000), plus $10,000 toward the cost of graduate tuition. The Clark Foundation also provides guidance to Fellows in pursuing a professional career in the non-profit, public interest sector, during their senior year and their years as a Clark Fellow.

Applicants should be second-semester juniors with a strong academic record (any major, any school), and a record of involvement in student, professional or community organizations. Applications will be due in early March or April. Interested students should see Professor Margaret Groarke, Miguel 426.
