We support Columbia undergraduates and alumni in exploring and applying for internal, national, and international fellowships. We inform students, faculty, and staff about a full range of opportunities and help students determine which programs best meet their intellectual, professional, and personal goals.

Welcome to Undergraduate Research and Fellowships! There are exciting research and fellowship opportunities available to students at every stage of the Columbia experience and beyond.

URF Advisors remain committed to supporting students throughout their fellowship and research journeys. URF offers advising via appointment or virtual walk-in sessions.

Please note that URF advising and workshops are only open to current Columbia undergraduates (CC, SEAS and GS) and alumni of these undergraduate divisions.

If you are a current graduate student at Columbia, please reach out to your program's Office of Academic Affairs or Office of Student Affairs.
