About Columbia SIPA Public Service

This scholarship reflects our enduring belief in the transformative power of public leadership. It is awarded to students who have shown a steadfast commitment to advancing the public good, whether through government, nonprofit work, international service, or cross-sector innovation. Rather than requiring a formal service obligation, we aim to ignite a lifelong commitment to making a difference. Our goal is to invest in bold, value-driven leaders and equip them to tackle the world’s most pressing challenges with integrity, vision, and purpose. Through this fellowship, we support those who will continue driving equity, justice, and meaningful change long after their time at SIPA.
