The Harry J. Carman Fellowships support one or two graduating Columbia College seniors each year to defray costs of graduate study for any degree, in any field, in any location. The Fellowship was established by friends of former Dean Carman in 1949, and provides up to $25,000 each year to applicants with financial need. Recipients of the Carman must take up their fellowship for the academic year immediately following their graduation from the College. No deferrals will be granted.
Eligibility
Current seniors in Columbia College are eligible, provided they are in good academic and disciplinary standing, have outstanding academic records, and propose a plan of study for which they are well-prepared.
The fellowship award is contingent upon acceptance and enrollment into a full-time degree program (minimum of one academic year in length) proposed within the submitted application. This funding cannot be deferred, nor can it be applied toward a program in which a student is currently enrolled, such as a BA/MA program.
Note: Graduating seniors with conferral dates in October, February, or May of this academic year are eligible to apply.
