There are 15 awards of $3,000 for Baruch students who work in unpaid internships or volunteer positions at a non-profit serving the “common good.” This fellowship is made possible through the generosity of alumna Chani Katzen Laufer and the Aviv Foundation. Fellowship recipients will be selected without discrimination and on the basis of the student’s genuine possibility for personal growth and potential for future contributions to the “common good.” Preference will be given to students not otherwise receiving ongoing institutional scholarship assistance and who have not previously been awarded this fellowship.
Awards will be made in two installments, the first half will be awarded once the students have been selected and the second half will be awarded upon completion of the internship/volunteer work during the specified time-frame and upon the student returning a satisfactory Employer/Supervisor Evaluation.
