The Jeanette K. Watson Fellowship provides paid internships, mentoring and enriched educational opportunities to promising New York City undergraduates.

Eligibility

Eligible students are second semester freshman or sophomores who are full-time students with an intention to pursue liberal arts major. All applicants must be American citizens or “green card” holders. Since this is a competitive application, the academic standing of each student is a major consideration so it is recommended that a student should have at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA.

The Fellowship

The fellowship consists of three paid summer internships. Students are encouraged to take the third summer internship overseas. Each internship lasts 10 weeks and students will work in non-profit, government and private enterprise. Summer programs includes cultural activities in New York, and workshops with civic and business leaders

A Watson Fellowship provides experiences and insights about future vocations including options for graduate school, and assistance in presenting compelling applications for national fellowships and scholarships.

The Commitment

Watson Fellows are expected to make a commitment to three summers, from June 1 – August 6, including some weekends and evenings. Four seminars are held on Saturdays during the semester. Fellows will not be able to accept employment during this time.
