  • AWARD BUDGET ELIGIBILITY

    Below is a list of items that the mini-grant can and cannot cover.

    Expenses in the following categories are generally not allowable, unless they can be justified as uniquely essential to the project:

    • New School tuition and fees 
    • Study abroad program fees/tuition 
    • Personal equipment that can be obtained in school - particularly large equipment: example- cameras, projectors, and other equipment of the like

    • Expenses that go beyond a graduation date at the New School 

    Note: graduating seniors seeking to finish a project or participate in internship in the summer following graduation are eligible so long as the timeline is made clear and does not extend past the fall. 

     

    FUNDING INELIGIBILITY
    If a CESJ mini-grant includes requests for prohibited items, said specific item will not be considered for funding.

    Additionally, students also must make clear if they have or plan to solicit additional funding and the total amount of additionally solicted funds. Lack of disclosure may result in an ineligible application.

  • Lang First Year Fellow Application

  • We are excited about your interest in becoming a First Year Fellow! 


    First Year Fellows mentor a class of incoming first-year students to help them make a smooth transition to Lang and become engaged with the campus community. Fellows lead seminar workshops with their assigned group of first-year students throughout the fall semester, and meet weekly in a Teaching & Learning seminar with other Fellows to develop and strengthen their teaching, mentoring, and facilitation practice. The Teaching & Learning seminar will be taught by Professor Natalia Mehlman Petrzela, Chair of the First-Year Program.


    The First Year Program has been evolving over the past four years to better uphold Eugene Lang College's commitment to social justice. Check out The New School's Mission and Vision Statements here: http://www.newschool.edu/mission-vision.


    To reflect that evolution, First Year Fellows will partake in a week-long training during Orientation week (late August) that will introduce and strengthen skills in social justice literacy and practice, group facilitation, and mentoring. Fellows will be compensated for their participation in this training with a stipend of $500 (First Time Fellow) / $600 (Returning Fellows). 


    The Teaching & Learning Seminar (Fall 2022) and the workshop curriculum (which Fellows lead with their group of first-year students during Fall 2022) will focus on social justice-centered readings, topics, and questions, in addition to Lang-specific institutional information, and lesson planning/facilitation skills.


    The Fellows program is an exciting leadership opportunity for you to build upon your own academic, pedagogical, and activist work, and to inspire first-year students to become part of a community at Lang that values and practices a commitment to social justice. 


    This opportunity is not just for Lang students who are already engaged in social justice work. We encourage applicants with a strong desire to learn more about teaching, social justice literacy, and practice to apply.

  • WHAT DO I DO AS A FIRST YEAR FELLOW?
    - Develop teaching and facilitation skills
    - Mentor the next generation of Lang students

  • Students who have an experience that could benefit from funding during the academic year should use this form to inquire about eligibility.


  • Students can apply for this merit-based award in one of two ways as outlined below and can apply more than once and the applications are open to graduating seniors.

    Option 1: On their own, or scanning opportunities listed on the IS Blog/Student Resources/ Funding or Internships, students can identify an unpaid internship/REU, or one that supplies limited funding (NSF, DEP, funded REU), and request financial support via the fellowship to cover outstanding costs (paid work, housing, travel, certificates, computing, supplies, etc.). Please review the list of Student Resources at the IS Blog, under Finding, Funding, and Applying for Internships and REUs and the Categories Submenu. In addition, speak to the appropriate faculty member to identify additional matches. Your Peers are also an excellent resource with many having applied to 10-20 REU or internships each year. As an example an Indeed Job search also can be useful for new and emerging internships. See this one on the Environmental Defense Fund (summer 2018) in which you would work on a project designed to shift energy use from fossil fuels to “clean”electrical sources and another at the Natural Resources Defense Council summer 2019) in which you work as a photography intern (fully paid!) . Also there are some specific to soph-graduating seniors not yet in graduate school See DOE SULI. 

    Option 2: To streamline the process and provide students with a supportive environment connected to faculty or alumni, we have worked with specific organizations to tailor the research/internship experience. Students can select from these organizations and apply to the department, which will provide mentoring on development of cover letter, CV-Resume, and do a preliminary review of all applications before matching students to organizations for interviews. The range of options is varied in terms of time, duration, responsibilities, and prior background. Please see this Mohn Family Science and Social Justice Fellowships link for description of the sites and positions.
