NYU SPS GRADUATE STUDENTS AND DAUS UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS

Global Diversity Scholarship

The SPS Global Diversity Scholarship is designed to help graduate students and DAUS undergraduate students from historically marginalized communities participate in SPS Global Field Intensive (GFI) courses during the J-term, spring, and summer semesters. SPS is advancing diversity, inclusion, and equity at all levels of the School, including in its global programming. By creating opportunities for students who may not be otherwise able to participate in a global experience, the Global Diversity Scholarship is one effort in the broader commitment to Diversity and Inclusion at SPS. Recipients of the scholarship will receive a grant that covers the entire program activity fee for the GFI in which they are enrolled.

If selected as a Global Diversity Scholarship recipient, you will:

  • Receive a grant to cover the entire program activities fee of the GFI course in which you have enrolled (varies by GFI)
  • Attend and participate in pre- and post-travel scholarship recipient receptions
  • Provide a brief GFI experience testimonial upon return from your trip
