The Leadership Alliance
Hunter College is part of The Leadership Alliance, a consortium of 33 U.S. Colleges and Universities dedicated to providing opportunities for minority and under-represented groups interested in conducting research at other Alliance institutions during the summer. Hunter also hosts its own Alliance-affiliated Summer Research program.
Clare Boothe Luce Grant
Eight female Hunter students majoring in science or math will be awarded a two-year scholarship from the Clare Boothe Luce Program. Each student in the program will work as a researcher in her chosen field alongside a faculty mentor and will have access to $12,600 annually to cover tuition, equipment and supplies, research assistance, and travel to professional meetings. The first four scholarships were awarded in 2008.
Harcourt Fellowship
The Alfred Harcourt Foundation has awarded a grant to The City University of New York to establish 30 Harcourt Fellowships, to be divided equally between Hunter College pipeline programs and The Teacher Academy. The goal of the Harcourt Fellowships is to enable low-income students from underrepresented populations who are pursuing undergraduate degrees in STEM disciplines and/or preparing to teach in STEM fields to complete their undergraduate degrees and successfully move on to the next steps of their professional lives. The Fellowship awards each recipient a $5,000 annual scholarship and provides funding support for a faculty mentor. The Fellowship awards can be renewed annually for a total of three years. The Fellowship award period for 2009-2010 will be September 1, 2009 to August 31, 2010.
